Could the route to the stars be paved not by impossible physics, but by spacetime itself? A new warp drive model has been ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Warp drive could reshape interstellar travel, but negative energy, instability, and causality still stand in the way. (CREDIT: ...

Exploring the universe in Star Trek is as easy as firing up the warp drive and zipping off to the next adventure, but real life is much more tedious without faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Physicists ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: Now, a new study led by Harold "Sonny" White—former NASA scientist and leader of the experimental Eagleworks laboratory at Johnson Space ...

If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ponders ...

In the years since Miguel Alcubierre came up with a warp drive solution in 1994, you would occasionally see news headlines saying that warp drives can work. And then a few months later you'll see that ...

For more than half a century, faster than light travel has lived in the realm of television scripts and paperback science fiction. Now a cluster of theoretical breakthroughs is forcing physicists to ...

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 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 ...
