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 ...

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 ...

For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate ...

For more than half a century, faster than light travel has lived in the realm of television scripts and paperback science fiction. Now a cluster of theoretical breakthroughs is forcing physicists to ...
