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 ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...

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 ...

For more than a century the speed of light was treated as an unbreakable cosmic limit. Now physicists are revisiting that ...

After almost six decades and hundreds of years of future history, the fastest way to travel in the final frontier is still by firing up your faithful warp drive. Star Trek’s famous faster-than-light ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and engineers, announced the groundbreaking launch of Warp Factory— a toolkit designed for the ...

A recent study has sparked excitement in the scientific community, suggesting that warp drives, a staple of science fiction, could actually be possible. Published in the journal Classical and Quantum ...
