Gas prices could rise due to the conflict with Iran. Alvaro Gonzalez/Getty Images Brent crude opened Thursday at $67.83 a barrel, down more than $13 from the high of $81 last week, after traders decided the Iran-Israel ceasefire will probably keep the Strait of Hormuz open. It follows US President Donald Trump delivering an all-caps message about oil prices on Monday, less than a day after US and Israeli forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites.

One of last year's biggest games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, revived a hero from a bygone era -- known for retrieving precious artifacts and delivering them to Western museums. At Summer Game Fest, I got to try a game that flips this script. Relooted is all about a team of African specialists liberating artifacts from museums to bring them back to their home countries. Relooted is a 2D puzzle-platformer which tasks players to pull off increasingly complex heists. There's a basic loop o

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is out today, not counting the early access period. Kojima Productions and publisher Sony couldn't resist putting out one last trailer. I wouldn't be surprised if the filename for it was something like DS2_FINAL_TRAILER_V17_noactuallyitsthelastone.mp4 and yet it still has a runtime of six minutes.

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay.
