Wired.co.uk's piece last week about Nasa's test of a new type of space drive triggered a tsunami of responses online. Many were understandably sceptical, others were unsure how it would advance space ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

The summer’s biggest hits gave Cinemark a blockbuster July, driving the theater chain to its highest box office month ever, the company said Tuesday. The Plano, Texas-based chain, which operates 516 ...

Five years ago, NASA researchers experimented with an object called the EmDrive (or electromagnetic drive), a Y-shaped metal chamber in which, they reported, thrust could be produced without ...

At this point, the EM Drive will be important -- if not for revolutionizing space travel, then at least for dramatically illustrating the difficulty of taking accurate force measurements at extremely ...

Imagine if, after the Wright Brothers made their historic first flight in 1903, they had met with complete skepticism, because the scientific establishment did not believe that heavier-than-air flight ...

If there’s one thing guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers, it’s surely the EM Drive. Billed in some corners as the holy grail of deep space travel, others (including us) have been quick to calm ...

The hypothetical EmDrive rocket engine threatened to upend what we knew about physics... if it worked. After the latest round of testing, we can say with a high degree of certainty that it doesn't.

A controversial new electric propulsion system, which physicists say defies Newton’s Laws of Motion, was launched into space this weekend aboard a Space X rocket. Developed by electronics prototyping ...
