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 ...

Aided by the gravitational pull of Venus and the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the fastest man-made object in history when it launched in August 2018—yet its top speed is still less than 1% of ...

The picture depicted above is not some secret NASA project built in the recesses of the dark side of the moon, but the brainchild of concept artist Mark Rademaker, who designed what could be the first ...

NASA scientist and Advanced Propulsion Team Lead Harold White has the kind of job thousands dream of and few achieve -- he's in charge of the space agency's efforts to determine if a faster-than-light ...

Warp drive has long been a narrative shortcut for science fiction, but a new generation of physicists is treating it as a serious, if distant, engineering problem. Instead of asking whether ...

Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and surprisingly precise. As researchers probe the edges of general relativity ...

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 ...
