We live in a three-dimensional reality. Because of that, it's pretty hard to imagine what a four-dimensional reality might be like, but that isn't stopping physicists from trying to figure it out. A ...

A refreshingly simple new idea has emerged in the complicated world of high energy physics. It proposes that the early universe was a one-dimensional line. Not an exploding sphere, not a chaotic ball ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that graphene can be used as a building block to create new 3D crystal structures which are not confined by what nature can produce. Sandwiching individual graphene ...

For more than a century, scientists have been fascinated by the possibility that hidden, minuscule spatial dimensions could be influencing the physics of our familiar three-dimensional world. Despite ...

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 ...

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 ...
