The dream of a warp drive, a futuristic propulsion system that could allow us to cover astronomical distances at the speed of light or faster, is still alive. While the idea has historically been ...

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 ...

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 concepts suggest a ship could ride a bubble of space-time faster than light without breaking relativity.

Aided by the gravitational pull of Venus and the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the fastest man-made object in history when it launched in August 2018—yet its top speed is still less than 1% of ...

What some might call science fiction, the University of Houston-Victoria’s provost is attempting to turn into truth. Chance Glenn is boldly attempting to go where no person has gone before and make it ...

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 ...

David Pares points to the Faraday cage that he uses in his warp drive experiments in the garage of his Aksarben-area home. David Pares believes he has the makings of a warp drive right here in his ...

NASA scientist and Advanced Propulsion Team Lead Harold White has the kind of job thousands dream of and few achieve -- he's in charge of the space agency's efforts to determine if a faster-than-light ...

Interstellar travel may still be in the realms of fantasy, but a NASA team is working on physics theories that might one day make it possible guy norris / los angeles Marc Millis, outgoing director of ...
