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 ...

A scientist at NASA is making the dreams of Sci-Fi loving nerds everywhere come true. We may be able to one day travel faster than the speed of light. Whether it’s old school Captain Kirk calling ...

In Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive using ...

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 ...

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 Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive using ...

Researchers just announced the creation of a new kind of simulated black hole. The “black hole” is made primarily out of sound waves and glycerin, and bends light in the same ways that the intense ...

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 ...
