Another lovely example of how it’s the innovation that happens outside the core that’s usually the most interesting.Β After all, cutting edge research in space propulsion is the domain of heavily funded Government labs right?
19-year-old Egyptian physics student Aisha Mustafa is someone we may see again in the media in the future because though young she’s patented a new type of propulsion system for spacecraft that makes use of an obscure, and only recently experimentally proven, quantum physics effect.
