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 imaginations and ...

Scientists say a real warp drive may no longer be pure science fiction, thanks to new breakthroughs in theoretical physics.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Aided by the gravitational pull of Venus and the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the fastest man-made object in history when ...

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 ...

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

In the years since Miguel Alcubierre came up with a warp drive solution in 1994, you would occasionally see news headlines saying that warp drives can work. And then a few months later you'll see that ...

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 ...
