A type of warp drive theoretically capable of propelling a spacecraft at ten times the speed of light.
I could only find a NASA alcuberrie detector.
Quote:In 2012, a NASA laboratory announced that they have constructed an interferometer that they claim will detect the spatial distortions produced by the expanding and contracting spacetime of the Alcubierre metric. The work has been described in Warp Field Mechanics 101, a NASA paper by Harold Sonny White.[5][6] Alcubierre has expressed skepticism about the experiment, saying "from my understanding there is no way it can be done, probably not for centuries if at all".[31] Results have been reported as "inconclusive"
