Traveling at warp speed is now no longer an impressive sci-fi idea, as researchers at the University of Alabama, Huntsville have suggested a new theory for a warp drive that follows the theories of ...

This Star Trek concept ignited a dream that humans could one day travel faster than the speed of light. Now physicists are ...

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 ...

It’s the next generation — of science. A new study appears to have legitimized the popular science fiction belief that “warp drives” — known by nerds as super-powered space engines from “Star Trek” — ...

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 ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations and ...

Scientists said the warp drive, once considered to be purely hypothetical, is slowly edging toward legitimate physics.
