A revolutionary propulsion concept using light sails could one day allow small spacecraft to travel between stars at ...

A scientific discovery that could transform the study of warp drive is now under wraps at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research ...

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for a boost, just don't have the ability to scale to useful interstellar speeds ...

Interstellar travel has long been a dream, but getting to the stars is incredibly difficult. A new project is bringing the space community closer to realizing this dream. The Breakthrough Starshot ...

"The lightsail will travel faster than any previous spacecraft, with potential to eventually open interstellar distances to ...

Powered by laser light, this tiny sail lays the groundwork for future advances in lightsail technology and the potential for interstellar propulsion.

Russia's state-owned Rosatom announced a prototype plasma engine which could speed up travel to other planets.

Though in early stages, this concept shows interstellar travel within human lifetimes is possible, bridging the gap between science fiction and achievable science. 'Beam me up': Oxford University ...
