In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And ...

Physicists explore whether the universe hides extra dimensions. These tiny, curled-up or warped dimensions could explain ...

Could the universe have hidden dimensions we’ve yet to detect? The idea of extra dimensions has intrigued physicists for over ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway. Could it exist in another dimension?

Try picturing a fourth dimension. Take a few steps forward. Veer left for a second dimension, then jump up for a third dimension. Then dive off into a fourth dimension, somewhere, somehow, in a ...

For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials theorized to exist only in four-dimensional space. An ...

Supersolid result Physicists have produced a two-dimensional supersolid quantum gas in the laboratory for the first time. (Courtesy: IQOQI Innsbruck/Harald Ritsch) Atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate ...

Scientists have succeeded in conducting a new experiment that supports the existence of the long-sought-after Luttinger liquid state. How would electrons behave if confined to a wire so slender they ...

Physics education is a subject that is almost as big as physics itself, and in some ways it is even more complex. Although the laws of physics are the same in Belfast, Bologna and Berlin, the way in ...

One of my favorite books as a child was called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. Written by a grade-school teacher in 1884, it’s a novel narrated by a square who lives in a two-dimensional world ...
