While the existence of extra dimensions is a cool idea, it's currently not supported by any evidence ...

Physicists are quietly testing wild new theories that treat a hidden fifth dimension as more than science fiction, suggesting ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests ...

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

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

There may be another universe just a millimeter away from ours, hovering in an extra, hidden dimension. At any moment this second universe (or “membrane,” in M-theory—a relative of superstring theory) ...

MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

A recent study has made strides toward solving one of physics’ biggest puzzles: including all known particles and interactions into the theory of quantum gravity. The solution is to modify the quantum ...

We live in a three-dimensional world. We perceive our world in three dimensions, we move around in three dimensions and, in a certain way, our imagination "thinks" in three dimensions. As such, it is ...
