This Star Trek concept ignited a dream that humans could one day travel faster than the speed of light. Now physicists are ...

In Star Trek, the crew of the Enterprise could cross galaxies in the time it takes us to fly from Delhi to Dubai. While long considered pure science fiction, the show’s most fantastical invention, the ...

Scientists said the warp drive, once considered to be purely hypothetical, is slowly edging toward legitimate physics.

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 ...

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 ...

If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ponders ...

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

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 ...

If humanity wants to be a spacefaring species, it needs to figure out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Now, a new online toolkit — backed up by a $500,000 grant — will help engineers ...

There have been some awesome inventions in the world of science fiction over the years. Whether it's the Tardis from "Dr Who" and its miraculous traveling abilities or the teleporting talents of the ...

Warp drives have been the dream of of spacefarers ever since they first graced the pages of science fiction novels, but real-world attempts have often traipsed into areas of exotic physics like ...

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 ...
