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 ...

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 ...

Warp drive has long been a narrative shortcut for science fiction, but a new generation of physicists is treating it as a ...

The warp in the Milky Way's spiral disk is precessing backward under the influence of the enormous mass of dark matter that forms an invisible halo around our galaxy, Chinese astronomers have ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

A research team led by Dr. HUANG Yang from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) pioneered the "motion picture" method for measuring the precession rate of ...

The Milky Way is warped, possibly as the result of a collision with another galaxy billions of years ago. Studying this warp could reveal more about the structure of our galaxy's hidden matter. The ...
