Physicists are quietly testing wild new theories that treat a hidden fifth dimension as more than science fiction, suggesting ...

While the existence of extra dimensions is a cool idea, it's currently not supported by any evidence ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Scientists studying dark matter have published new findings based on a warped extra dimension model that suggests particles in a fifth dimension.

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

There may be another universe just a millimeter away from ours, hovering in an extra, hidden dimension. At any moment this second universe (or “membrane,” in M-theory—a relative of superstring theory) ...

MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

We live in a three-dimensional world. We perceive our world in three dimensions, we move around in three dimensions and, in a certain way, our imagination "thinks" in three dimensions. As such, it is ...
