blending real-life science with fiction in ways that have sparked technological innovations. One of the most fascinating ...

NASA blurs science fiction and reality, showcasing advances in warp drives, Mars rovers, tractor beams, 3D printing, and AI.

But we don't know if a warp drive is outright impossible or merely impractical. Ultimately, physicists continue to study warp drives not because we'd like to use them to explore the universe.

Science fiction often gets around this through advanced technology - such as Star Trek's warp drive - allowing faster ... But sadly in real life it's not as easy as Kirk and company make it ...

In Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive ...

and picks up surface samples - essentially reproducing the driver's virtual movements on the real-life surface of Mars. The technology is a solution to NASA's problem of distance. Mars is more ...
