"Warp drives" used by super-advanced alien civilizations may create specific space-time ripples in their wake that we can spot from Earth, a new paper argues. However, the jury is still out on whether ...

In the "Star Trek" universe, the fantastic speed of warp 10 has remained annoyingly out of reach. However, a recent paper in an open-access journal describes an experiment that attempted to break that ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ingredients. Instead of exotic negative energy, their design uses ordinary ...

A new study claims that “warp drive” technology — a mechanism popularized by “Star Trek“ that would allow for faster-than-light (FTL) travel — might be more feasible than previously thought. “This ...

For most of us, traveling faster than the cosmic speed limit—the speed of light—is a science-fiction fantasy that breaks the very foundation of modern physics. But in the eyes of an engineering ...

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 ...
