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 ...

For those of you upset about the tone of this article. I think it is really difficult to convey just how ludicrous the idea of the EM drive is. In my last article ...

Earlier this year, rocket scientists at NASA fired up an electromagnetic thruster powered by lithium metal vapor.

A powerful new electromagnetic thruster has taken a major step forward after a successful high-energy test at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Fueled by lithium vapor and driven by intense magnetic ...

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 ...

A new theory of inertia could explain how NASA is generating thrust with a new drive design, and may even show them how to make it more powerful. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

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 ...

No matter what happens from here, Roger Shawyer can feel at least a bit of vindication. There's no way to know whether his potentially world-changing new fuel-free thruster called the EM Drive will be ...

NASA engineers recently tested a next-generation electric propulsion system that could one day power a crewed mission to Mars. NASA fired up a prototype of its electromagnetic thruster inside a vacuum ...
