Last month, a barn near rural Jackson, Michigan, caught fire in a suspected spontaneous combustion. The culprit is wet hay, which is counterintuitive if you don’t know much about the underlying ...

A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

Internal combustion engines are everywhere, yet they are not a common sight. They power most cars and motorcycles by combusting a fossil fuel like petroleum (although these vehicles are slowly being ...
