This Star Trek concept ignited a dream that humans could one day travel faster than the speed of light. Now physicists are ...

Traveling at warp speed is now no longer an impressive sci-fi idea, as researchers at the University of Alabama, Huntsville have suggested a new theory for a warp drive that follows the theories of ...

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 ...

Dubbing these “closed timelike geodesics” (CTGs), Ralph and Sajeendran explain in the paper: “Such a CTG would be ideal for ...

Late last year, it emerged that a small team of NASA researchers were working on warp drive technology in the lab. Led by Harold "Sonny" White, the team devised a variation of the Alcubierre warp ...

Scientists said the warp drive, once considered to be purely hypothetical, is slowly edging toward legitimate physics.

Star Trek's iconic warp drive, once pure science fiction, is now inspiring real-world astrophysicists. Scientists are ...

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 ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists, published a milestone study in the prestigious Classical and Quantum Gravity journal, ...

To make a warp drive, first you need to master the Casimir effect. The Casimir effect, for the uninitiated, is a very small attractive force that exists between two uncharged but conductive parallel ...

The dream of a warp drive, a futuristic propulsion system that could allow us to cover astronomical distances at the speed of light or faster, is still alive. While the idea has historically been ...

Speculative new research outlines a method for detecting extraterrestrial civilizations: by catching the gravitational waves produced by the collapse, or failure, of their warp drives. Sounds wild, ...
