NASA scientist and Advanced Propulsion Team Lead Harold White has the kind of job thousands dream of and few achieve -- he's in charge of the space agency's efforts to determine if a faster-than-light ...

For some years now, NASA's Harold White has been working on the possibility of a warp drive engine. This is the concept ship that might be powered by that engine. Michelle Starr Science editor ...

Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

Nothing can travel through the space-time continuum faster than the speed of light. NASA engineer and physicist Harold White announced in 2012 that he was working on an idea that squeezes the ...

The ship itself could also send some type of multi-messenger signal, but it's difficult to know how the ship's matter would interact with regular matter. "Since we do not know the type of matter used ...

In 2012, NASA physicist Harold White revealed that he and a team were working on a design for a faster-than-light ship. Now he’s collaborated with an artist to create a new, more realistic design of ...

The news: According to Star Trek, the warp drive is an advanced engine that distorts the space and time and allows starships to travel faster than the speed of light. But while the engine didn't ...

Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and surprisingly precise. As researchers probe the edges of general relativity ...
