Imagination has never been the most intractable problem in the physics of warp drive; it has been bookkeeping. The Alcubierre concept of 1994, the celebrated one, fits in the general relativity theory ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and engineers, announced the groundbreaking launch of Warp Factory— a toolkit designed for 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 ...

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 ...

Warp drive is having a moment. Just last week, scientists dropped a bombshell when they unveiled the first physical model for a warp drive, the holy grail of space travel that would allow us to bend ...

A cluster of recent theoretical papers has laid out mathematical frameworks for propelling spacecraft at speeds ranging from ...

THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORING STAR TO OUR SUN, a small red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light-years from Earth. That might not sound like much — but even for one of the fastest spacecraft ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics are excited to announce they have recently constructed the first model of physical warp drives. Applied Physics is an independent group of ...

“Scotty, I need warp speed in 3 minutes or we’re all dead.” This command by first generation “Star Trek” Captain James Kirk in the fictional 2020s is a famous line in modern science fiction. It’s the ...
