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

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 ...

Anyone who grew up obsessed with Star Wars will know the thrill of seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca launch the Millennium Falcon into hyperspace for the first time. In the films, hyperdrive engines allow ...

Exploring the universe in Star Trek is as easy as firing up the warp drive and zipping off to the next adventure, but real life is much more tedious without faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Physicists ...

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” — ...

In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out if the "warp drive" from his favorite science fiction shows was possible. Amazingly, he found a way to make it feasible, ...

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 ...

The Coaxial Drive is a groundbreaking technology in interstellar travel, defying conventional limitations of space-time and opening new possibilities for galactic exploration. The Coaxial Drive ...
