For the first time, a group of physicists is arguing that a warp drive is not just a mathematical curiosity but something ...

A new warp-drive study proposes a novel segmented design that brings hyper-fast space travel one step closer to becoming a ...

"Warp drives" used by super-advanced alien civilizations may create specific space-time ripples in their wake that we can spot from Earth, a new paper argues. However, the jury is still out on whether ...

A Star Trek–inspired idea by Miguel Alcubierre kicked off decades of theory and experiments as scientists pursue plausible warp-drive designs and detection methods.

You know that scene in the film Contact where the “Machine” is spooling up, its three spinning rings kicking out crazy light and an electromagnetic field powerful enough to pitch nearby Navy ...

If travel to distant stars within an individual’s lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To date, even recent research about superluminal ...
