The ion thruster, fueled by xenon gas, ran for a total of 16,265 hours during the mission, providing a total change in velocity (delta-V) of 4.3 kilometers per second, the largest for any ...

Dr. Simon Pimstone, Xenon’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We believe we have unique expertise to evaluate modulators of ion channel targets with strong human genetic validation ...

the researchers conducted an experiment in which fully stripped xenon ions collided with xenon targets using the cooling storage ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). After ...

Dr. Simon Pimstone, Xenon’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We have done an immense amount of diligence leading up to the addition of XEN496 to our novel and robust pipeline of ion-channel ...

In operation, the xenon ions are accelerated to speeds of up to 40,000 meters per second, making NEXT the latest and by far the most powerful in a class of high-efficiency ion thrusters propelling ...

Sacramento, Calif.-based Aerojet said June 29 that a xenon ion engine developed in partnership with NASA’s Glenn Research Center has surpassed 30,000 hours of operation in ground tests at the ...

In this case, Boeing claims the Xenon Ion Propulsion System (XIPS) designs used for ABS-3A is ten times more efficient than liquid fueled rockets.

The domain is classified based on the ion’s projected range in silicon of argon, gallium and xenon ion species as a function of the ion energy from 100 eV to 30 keV. It shows that for the same ion, ...

Let’s take an ion propulsion engine example: The NSTAR ion engine was developed for the Deep Space 1 satellite. This engine uses Xenon atoms that have a mass m = 2.2 x 10 -25 kg and a charge of the ...

'The xenon ion penetrates the graphene film, thereby knocking a carbon atom out of the graphene - but that has very little effect, as the gap that has opened up in the graphene is then refilled ...
