The first warp drive design from the early 90s required massive amounts of negative energy, but three decades of honing the math later, scientists have lowered that threshold considerably. Now, a new ...
If humanity wants to be a spacefaring species, it needs to figure out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Now, a new online toolkit — backed up by a $500,000 grant — will help engineers ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations and ...
If a warp drive explodes in deep space, will anybody hear it? Probably not, but new research suggests that humans could one day detect the ripples in spacetime such a catastrophe would create, ...
The pursuit of faster-than-light travel has long been a staple of science fiction, but recent advancements in theoretical physics suggest that warp drives could one day become a reality. Scientists ...
Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a mathematical perspective. Now, Applied Physics, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and ...
Nearly 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series ignited a dream in the public’s imagination: that one day, people would travel the galaxy in ships propelled by faster-than-light “warp drives.” The ...
