One of my favorite books as a child was called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. Written by a grade-school teacher in 1884, it’s a novel narrated by a square who lives in a two-dimensional world ...

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

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.

It's true. Muons - you know, those subatomic particles, also known as fat electrons - wobble faster than we suspected. By we, of course, I mean they - the particle physicists obsessed with things like ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

Supersolid result Physicists have produced a two-dimensional supersolid quantum gas in the laboratory for the first time. (Courtesy: IQOQI Innsbruck/Harald Ritsch) Atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking new study, researchers from the University of Rostock and the University of Birmingham have made a surprising discovery that challenges the long-held understanding of time and ...

We live in a 3D world. This means we have three dimensions: height, width, and depth. But what if we can access the fourth and fifth dimensions? If we lived in a 1D or 2D world, we would see ...

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 ...

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 ...
