Could the route to the stars be paved not by impossible physics, but by spacetime itself? A new warp drive model has been ...

For decades, the idea of the warp drive—an incredibly cool, incredibly hypothetical cheat code for crossing impossible distances in deep space—has mostly been the domain of sci-fi. But maybe the real ...

Warp drive has long lived in the realm of starships and scriptwriters, but the equations behind it are starting to look less like fantasy and more like a difficult engineering problem. The latest ...

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 ...

Warp drives have a long history of not existing, despite their ubiquitous presence in science fiction. Writer John Campbell first introduced the idea in a science fiction novel called Islands of Space ...

In a surprising paper from 2021, scientists Alexey Bobrick and Gianni Martire suggested that they'd nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flew in the face of what we've long thought ...
