New theoretical warp drive design clears "negative energy" barrier - “This work has moved the problem of faster-than-light travel one step away from theoretical research in fundamental physics and closer to engineering,” says Lentz
A group of researchers developed a energy storage system using carbon aerogels, a type of synthetic material, that can function in the very low temperatures of Mars without heating units, which add weight and energy requirements to machinery, better than existing ultra-cold systems.
