A new warp speed experiment could finally offer an indirect test of famed physicist Stephen Hawking's most famous prediction about black holes. The new proposal suggests that, by nudging an atom to ...

The dream of a warp drive, a futuristic propulsion system that could allow us to cover astronomical distances at the speed of light or faster, is still alive. While the idea has historically been ...

For the first time, a group of physicists is arguing that a warp drive is not just a mathematical curiosity but something that fits within the known laws of nature. Instead of relying on exotic ...

From science-fiction technologies like warp drives and levitation to the search for evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in ...

Researchers just announced the creation of a new kind of simulated black hole. The “black hole” is made primarily out of sound waves and glycerin, and bends light in the same ways that the intense ...

What some might call science fiction, the University of Houston-Victoria’s provost is attempting to turn into truth. Chance Glenn is boldly attempting to go where no person has gone before and make it ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

In Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive using ...
