In the warp-drive literature, a shortage of imagination has never been the most recalcitrant hindrance. It has been one, savage demand: the demand of negative energy “exotic.” Recent theoretical ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

A team of physicists led by Jared Fuchs at the University of Alabama in Huntsville has produced a peer-reviewed warp drive ...

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...
