A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

Time is the strange dimension: Unlike its spatial siblings, it is a one-way street as the clock only ever ticks forward and never backward. Scientists have long been aware of time's quirks, with the ...

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 ...
