The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

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

Djuna Croon receives funding from the University of Sussex. Sometimes, the hardest job for a theoretical physicist is telling the story. The work in this field can be conducted entirely in the ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs field but not fully illuminated by it. A new wave of research is now ...

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 ...

As its name suggests, dark matter -- material which makes up about 85% of the mass in the universe -- emits no light, eluding easy detection. Its properties, too, remain fairly obscure. Now, a ...

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 ...
