Warp drive has long lived in the realm of starships and scriptwriters, but the equations behind it are starting to look less ...

Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and ...

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 ...

A new warp-drive study proposes a novel segmented design that brings hyper-fast space travel one step closer to becoming a ...

NASA scientist and Advanced Propulsion Team Lead Harold White has the kind of job thousands dream of and few achieve -- he's in charge of the space agency's efforts to determine if a faster-than-light ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

The picture depicted above is not some secret NASA project built in the recesses of the dark side of the moon, but the brainchild of concept artist Mark Rademaker, who designed what could be the first ...

You know that scene in the film Contact where the “Machine” is spooling up, its three spinning rings kicking out crazy light and an electromagnetic field powerful enough to pitch nearby Navy ...
