Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...
A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...
The notion of dimension at first seems intuitive. Glancing out the window we might see a crow sitting atop a cramped flagpole experiencing zero dimensions, a robin on a telephone wire constrained to ...
In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...
Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...
Understanding how cells decide their fate is a central challenge in biology, complicated by the fact that single-cell RNA ...
In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...
