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 ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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 ...

To the best of our knowledge, we humans can only experience this world in three spatial dimensions (plus one time dimension): up and down, left and right, and forward and backward. But in two physics ...

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 ...

We live in a three-dimensional reality. Because of that, it's pretty hard to imagine what a four-dimensional reality might be like, but that isn't stopping physicists from trying to figure it out. 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 ...
