In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And ...

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 ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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