The steam engine is no longer widely used primarily due to advancements in technology that have led to more efficient and powerful alternatives, such as internal combustion engines and electric motors. These newer technologies offer greater energy efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced operational costs. Additionally, the infrastructure and maintenance required for steam engines are often more cumbersome compared to modern engines. As a result, steam engines have largely been replaced in most applications across transportation and industry.
