Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.
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 ...
A team of physicists led by Jared Fuchs at the University of Alabama in Huntsville has produced a peer-reviewed warp drive solution that works within known physics, using only positive energy and ...
