Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space and one of time might be only a sliver of reality. Extra dimensions, if they exist, would not just be a ...

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 ...

Florida physicist has suggested that two of the biggest mysteries in particle physics and astrophysics — the existence of extra time and space dimensions and the composition of an invisible cosmic ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

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 ...

Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. And if so, they might help ...

A new underground facility called DUNE, which will accelerate particles for 800 miles between Illinois and South Dakota, could reveal the hidden dimensions of the universe, new research suggests. When ...

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...
