I've only gotten a few pages into this, but it looks like their general solutions still require negative energy? Regardless, it's been very interesting to see the development of warp drive theory over the last ~20 years.

The abstract claims 2 orders of magnitude less "negative energy" than Ablucierre Drive. So... it's an improvement ?

  100/-0 < 1/-0 ?

    No, more like only a Jupiter worth of negative mass instead of a few solar masses.

      It’s positive energy, not negative.

      Ah, so even in theory, we could use such a drive exactly once.

The paper both provides new positive-energy solutions and improves existing negative-energy solutions.
