Several University of Texas at Austin mathematics faculty, including an incoming assistant professor, have seen their work spotlighted in the science publication Quanta in recent weeks. Distinct in 3D ...

Florida physicist has suggested that two of the biggest mysteries in particle physics and astrophysics — the existence of extra time and space dimensions and the composition of an invisible cosmic ...

the speed of light holds up under extremely tight scrutiny, a finding that rules out certain theories predicting extra dimensions and a “frothy” fabric of space.

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 ...

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 ...

When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain. Ordinary matter, the stuff we can see and touch, accounts for just ...

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 ...

Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. Extra dimensions sound like science fiction, but they could be part of the real world. And if so, they might help ...
