In an internal combustion engine, the fuel is distributed in small droplets in injection valves to maximise combustion. In the engine, the fuel droplets are pressurised to turn into gas and burn. When ...

The ice that makes up glaciers isn't 100% solid – it's actually full of air bubbles, some of which formed centuries ago. Inspired by this fact, scientists have developed a method of using bubbles to ...

The film shows in slow motion how bubbles form inside a drop of biodiesel when it is exposed to repeated laser pulses that add energy. The process is documented with a high-speed camera. By studying ...

Despite the many impressive discoveries humans have made about the universe, scientists are still unsure about the birth story of our solar system. Scientists with the University of Chicago have laid ...

Huge bubbles of plasma billowing out from the Milky Way’s center might contain scraps from all over the galaxy — and beyond. A new look at gas clouds in the galaxy’s Fermi bubbles shows that the ...

Deep within the Milky Way’s core, researchers have uncovered cold gas clouds racing through a superheated galactic wind. These clouds sit high above the plane of the galaxy, deep inside enormous ...

The giant bubbles of hot gas blown out from the center of our Milky Way galaxy are far more complex than previously believed, a new study suggests. The discovery could finally explain how these 36,000 ...
