The idea was to generate thrust by harnessing a strange effect that seems to happen when electromagnetic energy is circulated in an enclosure. That's where things stood until November, when the concept began commanding mainstream attention after a team of NASA researchers reported in AIAAs Journal of Propulsion and Power that they may have generated an anomalous force with their version of an EmDrive, a force that would fly in the face of conventional physics. Here, Hadhazy finds out whether the effect was real or a product of an unknown source of error.
