If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ponders ...

"Warp drives" used by super-advanced alien civilizations may create specific space-time ripples in their wake that we can spot from Earth, a new paper argues. However, the jury is still out on whether ...

It’s the next generation — of science. A new study appears to have legitimized the popular science fiction belief that “warp drives” — known by nerds as super-powered space engines from “Star Trek” — ...

Scientists are looking for ways to detect alien warp drives lurking in space. While these hypothetical propulsion systems are most famous in science fiction stories like Star Trek, scientists believe ...

If a warp drive explodes in deep space, will anybody hear it? Probably not, but new research suggests that humans could one day detect the ripples in spacetime such a catastrophe would create, ...

Speculative new research outlines a method for detecting extraterrestrial civilizations: by catching the gravitational waves produced by the collapse, or failure, of their warp drives. Sounds wild, ...

For decades, the starship Enterprise has been shorthand for impossible speed, a sleek symbol of television fantasy rather ...

Star Trek has influenced real-life technology before, and it's doing it again via a proposed design for a real warp speed ...

A new paper suggests that we may be able to spot alien spaceships hopping between distant stars using "warp drives" because the sci-fi-inspired technology would give off specific gravitational waves ...
