If humanity wants to be a spacefaring species, it needs to figure out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Now, a new online toolkit — backed up by a $500,000 grant — will help engineers ...

Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a mathematical perspective. Now, Applied Physics, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and ...

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
