For the first time, scientists have introduced a physical model for warp drive. That means humans are one step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

Scientists have "boldly gone" where no one has gone before, discovering what would happen if a faster-than-light warp drive like the one used in Star Trek were to fail.

A warp drive compresses spacetime ahead of the ship and extends spacetime behind it, moving the ship through space inside a 'warp bubble'. In theory, this can allow a ship to move faster than the ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have reportedly discovered the first-ever warp bubble, a phenomenon that could ...

New research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy.

While this new warp drive doesn’t rely on wonky physics, that doesn’t mean we’re on the fast track to becoming masters of the Milky Way. Even this more realistic design has a few limitations.

Ars is owned by WIRED's parent company, Condé Nast. The goal of a warp drive is to get from A to B in the time between commercial breaks, which typically involves faster-than-light motion.

And the warp drive solution of Alcubierre appears to violate all three. It violates the strong energy condition because we have a situation where local gravity is repulsive.

Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called “warp drive&rdquo ...

Traditionally, warp drives have been synonymous with faster-than-light travel in popular culture, as seen in an array of films, television shows, and novels. In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville say warp speed is possible but not as Star Trek knew it ...
