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 ...

Warp drive research has long occupied the narrow corridor between elegant mathematics and science-fiction wish fulfillment. A recent theoretical result pushes that corridor open a little wider by ...

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville have proposed a mathematical framework for a warp drive that operates without exotic matter, a requirement that has long made such concepts seem ...

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 ...

What if I told you there’s a prototype German engine that could enable travel between galaxies, in futuristic spaceships that break the laws of physics with the phenomenon of “time warping”? It sounds ...

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 ...
