WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Spaceships zipping at the speed of light or faster are a staple of science fiction. Think of the Millennium Falcon in the "Star Wars" movies and the starship Enterprise in "Star ...

A new study claims that “warp drive” technology — a mechanism popularized by “Star Trek“ that would allow for faster-than-light (FTL) travel — might be more feasible than previously thought. “This ...

Space - the final frontier. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been zipping around space on our TVs for almost 60 years - and now the world's leading scientists are working to ...

The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now-in-space Parker Solar Probe will ...

Ever since Captain James T. Kirk first ordered Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott to jump the Starship Enterprise to warp speed, real world scientists and engineers have looked for ways to bring the ...

It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but spaceships that travel at warp speed are possible, according to one top scientist. In a recent study, physicist Dr Erik Lentz outlined a way that a ...
