NASA’s peer-reviewed paper on the revolutionary Electromagnetic Drive— colloquially known as the EM Drive—has finally arrived, and it’s created quite a stir in the scientific community. NASA’s ...

This might in reality backfire on the scientists, from abuse on the Internet to real abuse elsewhere. The problem with crazy fringe ideas is that they attract a lot of crazies who are given that ...

Who needs the laws of physics, anyway? Not NASA. At least, that is what a new peer-reviewed paper indicates. The paper discusses what was a fuel-free rocket engine, which tests now show works. But how ...

Editors' note: This article is part of Dear Future, a collaboration between CNET and VICE Motherboard that looks at major innovations -- in robotics, space travel, VR and more -- shaping the world ...

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 ...

After a relatively long news hiatus, the impossible EM (Electromagnetic) Drive is making a comeback. Researchers from China’s space agency have released a video through state media earlier this month ...

Physics always wins. But sometimes the magic space unicorns turn out to be new physics. (Not saying that's the case here, mind.) However, if you've got current flowing down the torsion bar to the ...

This update revisits the controversial EM Drive, once hailed as a potential fuel-free propulsion breakthrough. Recent German experiments, however, suggest that any observed thrust may simply be ...

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 ...
