The jump from sci-fi to real science was made by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994, when he was inspired to model a warp drive using Einstein's equations of general relativity.

This is a stark contrast to some sci-fi fantasies, as it seems that Ludicrous to Plaid accelerations will only be noticeable in your Tesla. The team’s research shows how we might construct such ...

From "Dune" to "Doctor Who" and beyond, sci-fi comes up with the wildest solutions for faster than light speeds. Here are our favorite engines, ships, and more.

Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a physics perspective. Now, a group of scientists and engineers has launched open-source software that lets you ...

A new study provides some theoretical underpinning to sci-fi warp drives, ... Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre published a groundbreaking paper that laid out how a real-life warp drive could work.

Now, however, scientists believe one sci-fi invention could, in fact, become a reality: the warp drive. There have been some awesome inventions in the world of science fiction over the years.

By “Burn tech,” Rayner means old-school warp drive. The “Pathway Drive” is an experimental propulsion system Starfleet was working on during Season 4 of Discovery .

Scientists have "boldly gone" where no one has gone before, discovering what would happen if a faster-than-light warp drive like the one used in Star Trek were to fail.
