Physicists discovered that the famous ‘Star Trek’ spaceship got a lot right about designing a ship to jump from galaxy to ...

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 ...

The concept of a warp drive has become a cultural icon ever since Star Trek's Captain Kirk said, "Warp Drive, Mr. Scott," to initiate faster-than-light travel for the Starship Enterprise.

For the first time, a group of physicists is arguing that a warp drive is not just a mathematical curiosity but something that fits within the known laws of nature. Instead of relying on exotic ...

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 ...
