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

If you’re struggling to wrap your head around the idea of further dimensions, this scientist’s garden-hose analogy may help.

For a long time, high-dimensional space has remained largely theoretical due to its inability to be perceived through ...

Humans are unable to access all the dimensions. As we live in a 3D world, a new theory suggests the fourth dimension is the ...

Unlike regular computers where data is stored in binary bits as 0 or 1, the “qubits” in quantum computers can exist as both at the same time. Stranger still, this information can be effectively ...

Although electrically charged black holes seem remote from superconductors and strange metals in the laboratory, they might be intimately related by the holographic dualities discovered in string ...

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 ...

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 ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...

Natalie Paquette spends her time thinking about how to grow an extra dimension. Start with little circles, scattered across every point in space and time—a curlicue dimension, looped back onto itself.
