New 'physical' warp drive concept reopens serious path to star travel
A team of physicists led by Jared Fuchs at the University of Alabama in Huntsville has produced a peer-reviewed warp drive ...
Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...
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 ...

Late last year, it emerged that a small team of NASA researchers were working on warp drive technology in the lab. Led by Harold "Sonny" White, the team devised a variation of the Alcubierre warp ...
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 dream of faster-than-light travel has been on the mind of humanity for generations. Until recently, though, it was restricted to the realm of pure science fiction. Theoretical mechanisms for warp ...
