Darkstar may not be a functional aircraft — but it isn’t fantasy either. Built by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division, the ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

A new 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 is ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...

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

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and engineers, announced the groundbreaking launch of Warp Factory— a toolkit designed for the ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster-than-light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by ...

NOTE: This article has been updated as the story has developed. Additional claims by the media have been included, and a confusing metaphor in relation to how warp drive functions has been removed. A ...
