A newly designed airplane prototype does away with noisy propellers and turbines. Instead, it’s powered by ionic wind: charged molecules, or ions, flowing in one direction and pushing the plane in the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Data centers need a lot of energy, most of which is used to cool down the microprocessors. A Swiss startup called Ionic Wind ...

The ability to precisely control flames could lead to greater energy efficiency and fewer harmful emissions from transport and industry. Flames contain charged ions and electrons, which can be ...

SeattlePI has a story on-line that talks about a Ukrainian-born professor from the University of Washington that's been working a method to cool computer chips using an ionic wind. It may sound like ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technology using tiny "ionic wind engines" that might dramatically improve computer chip cooling, possibly addressing a looming threat to future advances in ...

For a century of human flight, there has been a hard trade-off between the ability to glide silently and fly under one’s own power. Whatever gliders offered in stealth came with a larger logistical ...
