Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without worrying about Einstein. Now a new generation of physicists is arguing that a ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Negative energy may not be the showstopper it might be the geometry. That’s the bottom line from the latest warp‑drive study by Harold “Sonny” White, which trades the iconic smooth warp ring of Miguel ...

The USS Enterprise was an impossible dream rendered in fiber glass. Designed for Star Trek, it looked like a creation straight out of creator Gene Roddenberry’s imagination: Twin nacelles—those long, ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...
