A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex ...

Gravity is by far the weakest of nature’s four fundamental forces, and physicists have spent decades asking a deceptively ...

Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of time might be only part of a larger structure, with a hidden fifth ...

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 ...

Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension. While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physic ...

Dimensions beyond the four we’re familiar with could solve a host of problems in physics and cosmology. Columnist Leah Crane ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

In the photonic synthetic dimension, the coupling of internal degrees of freedom of photons, such as frequency, spatial mode, and orbital angular momentum, generates extra dimensions in addition to ...

The Leinweber Foundation donated $18 million to the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, renaming it to the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics. The total donation of $90 million is shared ...

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 ...
