Sun sails

Conceptual illustration of a diffractive solar sail.

Hidden physics complicates the dream of launching sailing spacecraft to other stars

A new theoretical study points to another problem with interstellar light sails: As they approach relativistic speeds, the Doppler effect and the deflection of light reduce the efficiency of the thrust. In one of the weakest contributions of light, even
