What changes when a warp drive no longer depends on matter that physics has never actually seen? For three decades, ...

Could a warp drive stop being a physics parlor trick and become a serious design problem? That question has returned because ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A wormhole in nature (for select values of “nature,” of course) might be a similarly higher-dimensional shape that does not act the same when ...

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 ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

Researchers using custom fabricated nanostructures that 'trap' light have created a new exotic state of matter with light at ...
