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

In a surprising paper, scientists say they’ve nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flies in the face of what we’ve long thought about the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it ...

Warp drive has long lived in science fiction, but physicists now treat it as a real, if deeply uncertain, question. The idea ...

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 ...
