From 2021? Stick it into Google Scholar. 26 citations. Abstract from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.03079.pdf from Feb. 2022: > Three recent articles have claimed that it is possible to, at least in theory, either set up positive energy warp drives satisfying the weak energy condition (WEC), or at the very least, to minimize the WEC violations. These claims are at best incomplete, since the arguments as presented only assert but do not prove the existence of one set of timelike observers, the co-moving Eulerian observers, who see relatively “nice” physics. While these particular observers might…

I believe the answer to this is [0], and the answer to that is [1]. I'm rather over my head here, and would love some analysis from people who know what the heck they're talking about. [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.03079 [1]: https://eriklentzphd.blogspot.com/2021/05/response-to-new-pa...
