For more than a century the speed of light was treated as an unbreakable cosmic limit. Now physicists are revisiting that ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most starships in Star Trek are able to travel across the galaxy at faster-than-light speeds through the use of warp drives ...
