Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The first warp drive design from the early 90s required massive amounts of negative energy, but three decades of honing the math ...

Exploring the universe in Star Trek is as easy as firing up the warp drive and zipping off to the next adventure, but real life is much more tedious without faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Physicists ...

Groundbreaking new research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy. Without the fictional idea of a ...

Recent research has brought new life to the concept of traveling faster than the speed of light, a technology once confined to the realms of science fiction, particularly popularized as “warp drive” ...

Warp drive remains one of the most famous ideas in space fiction, but real physics makes it extraordinarily difficult. Faster-than-light travel faces problems with energy, spacetime, causality, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers just announced the creation of a new kind of simulated black hole. The “black hole” is made primarily out of sound waves and glycerin, and bends light in the same ways that the intense ...

In the years since Miguel Alcubierre came up with a warp drive solution in 1994, you would occasionally see news headlines saying that warp drives can work. And then a few months later you'll see that ...
