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 ...

Anyone who grew up obsessed with Star Wars will know the thrill of seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca launch the Millennium Falcon into hyperspace for the first time. In the films, hyperdrive engines allow ...

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” ...

Warp drive concepts suggest a ship could ride a bubble of space-time faster than light without breaking relativity.

About 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series featured a technology called a “warp drive,” which allowed space travel at speeds much faster than light. Theoretical physicist and philosopher Albert ...

Star Trek's iconic warp drive, once pure science fiction, is now inspiring real-world astrophysicists. Scientists are developing theoretical models that could enable faster-than-light travel by ...

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, ...

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, ...
