Space travel has always hit a wall with slow speeds and massive fuel needs. Gravitic propulsion systems offer a game-c ...

Often referred to as the holy grail of space exploration, warp drive is a propulsion system concept that would allow travel ...

Warp drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system in many works, most notably Star Trek. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at apparent speeds greater than ...

[Steven Dufresne] recently demonstrated ion propulsion using high voltage, and someone pointed out it kind of looked like the warp drives on the Star Trek Enterprise… so he went out and bought a ...

For the uninitiated, antimatter is the bizarre "evil twin" of normal matter, with opposite charges and physical properties. In the rare event the duo collides, it ...

The gotcha with detecting an FTL warp drive is that it is undetectable until it collapses in some fashion. By simulating what this collapse might look like, the researchers were able to speculate ...
