For the first time, a group of physicists is arguing that a warp drive is not just a mathematical curiosity but something that fits within the known laws of nature. Instead of relying on exotic ...

Warp drive has long lived in the realm of starships and scriptwriters, but the equations behind it are starting to look less ...

"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 ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

Recent research has brought new life to the concept of traveling faster than the speed of light, a technology once confined to the realms of science fiction, particularly popularized as “warp drive” ...

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 ...

Groundbreaking new research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy. Without the fictional idea of a ...

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...

The picture depicted above is not some secret NASA project built in the recesses of the dark side of the moon, but the brainchild of concept artist Mark Rademaker, who designed what could be the first ...
