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

The idea that a hidden fourth dimension could be woven into everyday reality is no longer just a science‑fiction trope.

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 ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking discovery in the realm of physics has scientists abuzz with the potential confirmation of a portal to other dimensions. While the concept feels like science fiction, recent findings ...

String theory is a purported theory of everything that physicists hope will one day explain … everything. All the forces, all the particles, all the constants, all the things under a single ...

When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain. Ordinary matter, the stuff we can see and touch, accounts for just ...

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 ...
