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 ...

Recent scientific discussions suggest that the fourth dimension might be concealed within our everyday perception of reality, ...

It’s been two years since scientists discovered evidence of gravitational waves. Now, they’re figuring out what we can do with them. Recently, they found a huge, early contender: Using them to unveil ...

Modern multiverse fiction incorporates real physics equations and string theory principles rather than relying on pure ...

Most people are perfectly content with three dimensions to carry out daily tasks -- or four if they take time into account. String theorists, on the other hand, think that many more dimensions are ...

Djuna Croon receives funding from the University of Sussex. Sometimes, the hardest job for a theoretical physicist is telling the story. The work in this field can be conducted entirely in the ...

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 ...

For measuring curvature of 3D (hyper) surface we need solid angles instead of plane angles. General relativity (GR), which explains events on the greatest cosmological scale, and quantum mechanics (QM ...

Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely hypothetical, as it attempts to explain a type of ...
