For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials theorized to exist only in four-dimensional space. An ...

It’s been two years since scientists discovered evidence of gravitational waves. Now, they’re figuring out what we can do with them. Recently, they found a huge, early contender: Using them to unveil ...

Unlike regular computers where data is stored in binary bits as 0 or 1, the “qubits” in quantum computers can exist as both at the same time. Stranger still, this information can be effectively ...

Scientists at the Department of Applied Physics II of the University of Malaga have participated in the design of a new ...

A groundbreaking discovery in the realm of physics has scientists abuzz with the potential confirmation of a portal to other dimensions. While the concept feels like science fiction, recent findings ...

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 ...

Most people are perfectly content with three dimensions to carry out daily tasks -- or four if they take time into account. String theorists, on the other hand, think that many more dimensions are ...

Time is the strange dimension: Unlike its spatial siblings, it is a one-way street as the clock only ever ticks forward and never backward. Scientists have long been aware of time's quirks, with the ...

For measuring curvature of 3D (hyper) surface we need solid angles instead of plane angles. General relativity (GR), which explains events on the greatest cosmological scale, and quantum mechanics (QM ...

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 ...

Current issues are now on the Chicago Journals website. Read the latest issue. Since its inception in 1912, Isis has featured scholarly articles, research notes and commentary on the history of ...
