NASA Successfully Tests Drag-Reducing Laminar-Flow Wing in Flight
NASA has successfully flown its 40-inch CATNLF laminar-flow wing model aboard an F-15B aircraft in January 2026. The test confirmed the drag-reducing design performs safely in flight. By maintaining smooth airflow over wings, the technology could improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, lowering airline costs and reducing carbon emissions signi...

NASA Tests New Wing Design That Could Transform Airliner Efficiency
NASA engineers have tested a new laminar-flow wing concept at the Armstrong Flight Research Center by mounting a scaled CATNLF model beneath an F-15B aircraft. During high-speed taxi trials reaching about 144 mph, the design demonstrated potential to keep airflow smooth longer, reducing drag. NASA estimates the technology could cut fuel consumption...

New Electrochemical Method Doubles Hydrogen Output While Cutting Energy Costs
Scientists developed a new electrochemical method that doubles hydrogen output while lowering energy use by 40 percent. By adding organic molecules and a modified catalyst, the process creates extra hydrogen and useful byproducts, offering a sustainable, efficient path for industrial hydrogen production and potentially transforming clean energy app...
