Besides the basic well-known states of matter – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there are many exotic states being conjured up in the lab. One of these, known as a “supersolid,” was only confirmed a ...

Recent scientific discussions suggest that the fourth dimension might be concealed within our everyday perception of reality, challenging conventional views of space and time. This idea intersects ...

The universe feels three-dimensional — but some of the deepest physics suggests reality may have 11 dimensions hidden from our senses. This idea comes from theories like string theory and M-theory, ...

Our universe may be hiding extra dimensions just beyond the reach of current experiments — and they could be the key to unlocking two of the most stubborn mysteries in physics. A new theoretical study ...

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 ...

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

What would the universe be like if it had four spatial dimensions instead of three? Experimentalists are starting to explore the physics of higher dimensions with the help of recently developed tricks ...
