The idea that a hidden fourth dimension could be woven into everyday reality is no longer just a science‑fiction trope. Leading theorists now argue that extra dimensions are not only compatible with ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

Physicists have long treated mass as a basic ingredient of nature, something particles simply possess, even as the Higgs ...

How can we study phenomena that go beyond the three dimensions of the world we know? For his research on "synthetic dimensions", Konstanz-based physicist Oded Zilberberg was awarded an ERC ...

Our universe may be hiding extra dimensions just beyond the reach of current experiments — and they could be the key to unlocking two of the most stubborn mysteries in physics. A new theoretical study ...

To the best of our knowledge, we humans can only experience this world in three spatial dimensions (plus one time dimension): up and down, left and right, and forward and backward. But in two physics ...

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 ...

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 ...
