There’s always an enormous elephant in the room when talking about the far future of human space travel. Colonizing other planets is relatively doable with known physics, but if humans have any hope ...

Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Now, a new study led by Harold “Sonny” White—former NASA scientist and leader of the experimental Eagleworks laboratory at Johnson Space ...

Applied Physics unveils a new type of warp drive—a theoretical method of space travel that complies with general relativity and operates at a constant subluminal speed without requiring unphysical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Imagine a spaceship driven not by engines, but by compressing the spacetime in front of it. That's the realm of science fiction, right? Well, not entirely. Physicists have been exploring the ...

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 ...
