The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space might be only a small slice of ...

Could the universe have hidden dimensions we’ve yet to detect? The idea of extra dimensions has intrigued physicists for over ...

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 ...

Scientists are investigating the existence of hidden dimensions in our universe, which could potentially revolutionize our ...

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 ...

As its name suggests, dark matter -- material which makes up about 85% of the mass in the universe -- emits no light, eluding easy detection. Its properties, too, remain fairly obscure. Now, a ...

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 ...
