Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

For the first time, researchers have detected empty voids moving faster than the speed of light — and they blazed past that cosmic speed limit without breaking the laws of relativity. A recent study ...

For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have ...

Thomas Mulligan explains how a theoretical warp drive could potentially allow for faster-than-light travel by manipulating the fabric of space-time rather than pushing a vessel through it.

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...

A dark point inside a wave of light sounds like a contradiction. It is also something researchers say they have now viewed in real time, moving so quickly that, by one measure, it outran light itself.

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 superluminal ...

Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.
