In a surprising paper, scientists say they’ve nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flies in the face of what we’ve long thought about the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Aided by the gravitational pull of Venus and the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the fastest man-made object in history when ...

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 drive has long lived in the realm of starships and scriptwriters, but the equations behind it are starting to look less like fantasy and more like a difficult engineering problem. The latest ...

Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a mathematical perspective. Now, Applied Physics, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and ...

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 ...
