Geometry has surprising consequences for the behaviour of matter. Living in three dimensions, we're familiar with liquids that abruptly freeze into solids, or crystals under pressure that suddenly ...

The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. The theory also ...

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 ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space might be only a small slice of ...

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space and one of time might be only ...

Ever since Einstein posited that space and time were inextricably linked, scientists have wondered where the cosmic web called spacetime comes from. When two particles are able to simultaneously and ...

The hallmark of a Bose–Einstein condensate is the existence of a well-defined macroscopic phase. Indeed, experiments with large condensates exhibit robust matter-wave interference with negligible ...
