Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an ...

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: ...

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 ...

A robot solves a giant Rubik’s Cube with its feet, NASA sends mini-organs to space, and a tiny quantum universe helps ...

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” ...

How much do we really know about what else is out there in the universe? Let's take an outlandish example. If there were aliens flying around our galaxy with the sort of warp drive technology we often ...

Somehow, we all know how a warp drive works. You're in your spaceship and you need to get to another star. So you press a button or flip a switch or pull a lever and your ship just goes fast. Like ...

Back in 1994, the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a way for spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. Instead of accelerating the spacecraft across a region of spacetime, his ...
