The burgeoning space industry and the technologies society increasingly relies on—electric grids, aviation and ...

The direct light propulsion of matter was observed on a macroscopic scale for the first time using a bulk graphene [graphene sponge] based material. The unique structure and properties of graphene and ...

The four spikes on a new nanocrystal developed in Spain spin up under light and move through liquid, blasting any bacteria unfortunate to be in their path. The development could spell trouble for ...

With propulsion velocities of some 40% of the speed of light, such technology could eventually cut travel times to the nearby Alpha Centauri star system to less than a decade.

If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To date, even recent research about faster-than ...

Despite the fevered reports rocketing around the Internet, NASA is not close to developing a fuel-free, faster-than-light propulsion system.

The Lightsail 2 is due to launch on June 24, as a proof of concept for a photon propulsion system for spacecraft ...

This physicist thinks he can build an antimatter drive capable of taking us to the stars in less than a decade; all that’s needed is a *little* ready cash.

Researchers at Caltech have found a way to levitate and propel objects of practically any size or shape by using only light.

If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To date, even recent research about faster-than ...
