At this point, it may seem like there is no reason to consider spaces that have dimensions larger than four, since that is the highest imaginable dimension that might describe our universe.

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions. But even physicists ...

to probe these hidden dimensions through neutrino behavior. Neutrinos are among the universe's most elusive particles, earning them the nickname "ghost particles." There are three known types ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead ... Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more ...

Through a field called geometric topology, mathematicians like me study all possible spaces in all dimensions. Whether trying to design secure sensor networks, mine data or use origami to deploy ...
