A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...

With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

The internal combustion engine, for all its mechanical sophistication, still runs on a 19th-century mechanical idea: pistons ...

Even as companies continue to develop renewable energy sources designed to reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels, we are likely still decades away from phasing out the internal combustion engine ...

SwRI has a multidisciplinary team dedicated to Hydrogen Energy Research initiatives to deploy decarbonization technologies across a broad spectrum of industries. In 2022, SwRI began modifying a ...

Car and truck makers see hydrogen internal combustion engines as a tool to attack carbon emissions and leverage much of the industry's existing technology, expertise and supply chain. But California's ...

Automakers once bet big on bizarre ideas—from swirling airflows to variable compression—and the results were as fascinating as they were short-lived. Automotive engineers have invested countless ...

After military service a career as war correspondent was on the cards. But then an exclusive bursar programme in automotive journalism came 'a-knockin' - and so a 26-year journey spanning newspapers, ...

The sport's new regulations suggest that car makers are not pinning all their hopes on electrification. In 2026, F1 cars will be powered by hybrid engines with a 50:50 split between electric-power and ...

The 2035 ban on the sale of internal-combustion vehicles in Europe is still in effect, despite an exception made for e-fuels, a move pushed by Germany. Environmentalists would like to see the date for ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

Automotive engineers have invested countless billions trying to improve upon the humble internal combustion engine, but not all those efforts have translated well. In fact, sometimes, things got weird ...
