NASA’s peer-reviewed paper on the revolutionary Electromagnetic Drive— colloquially known as the EM Drive—has finally arrived, and it’s created quite a stir in the scientific community. NASA’s ...

Physics always wins. But sometimes the magic space unicorns turn out to be new physics. (Not saying that's the case here, mind.) However, if you've got current flowing down the torsion bar to the ...

Who needs the laws of physics, anyway? Not NASA. At least, that is what a new peer-reviewed paper indicates. The paper discusses what was a fuel-free rocket engine, which tests now show works. But how ...

The EmDrive, a type of space propulsion system that claimed to produce thrust without propellant, has been highly controversial (to say the least) since it came around in 2003. Now, thanks to a new ...

Editors' note: This article is part of Dear Future, a collaboration between CNET and VICE Motherboard that looks at major innovations -- in robotics, space travel, VR and more -- shaping the world ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space Radio, and author of How to Die in Space. He contributed this article to ...

No matter what happens from here, Roger Shawyer can feel at least a bit of vindication. There's no way to know whether his potentially world-changing new fuel-free thruster called the EM Drive will be ...

Applying a pilot wave theory to NASA’s EM drive frustum [or cone] could explain its thrust without involving any external action applied to the system, as Newton’s third law would require. Currently, ...

Researchers at NASA's Eagleworks advanced-propulsion lab have been working on a technology that can theoretically bring humans to Mars in just 70 days. The rocket propulsion engine known as EmDrive is ...

This might in reality backfire on the scientists, from abuse on the Internet to real abuse elsewhere. The problem with crazy fringe ideas is that they attract a lot of crazies who are given that ...
