Lab Notes
From the research bench
Technical deep dives from our research team. No marketing fluff — just physics, mathematics, code, and the occasional breakthrough.
Optimizing Mach Effect Thrusters: A Computational Approach
Dr. Elena Voss
How we used finite element analysis to achieve a 340% improvement in force-to-power ratio on our latest Mach effect thruster design.
GPU-Accelerated Numerical Relativity: Lessons From Our Cluster
Dr. Sarah Okonkwo
We migrated our numerical relativity pipeline to GPU compute. Here's what we learned about performance, precision, and the tradeoffs between them.
Metamaterial Shielding v2: From Simulation to Prototype
Dr. James Park
The journey from theoretical metamaterial design to physical prototype, including unexpected discoveries about resonance frequency behavior.
Revisiting Energy Conditions in Alcubierre-Type Metrics
Dr. Raj Mehta
A fresh look at the energy condition violations in warp drive metrics and potential relaxation strategies using quantum field corrections.
Building Our First Flight Test Platform
Dr. Ana Petrova
From design requirements to first flight: how we built a modular high-altitude test rig capable of measuring micro-Newton thrust in real flight conditions.
