For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials that were theorized to exist only in four-dimensional ...

In an online lecture, a professor mentioned that Einstein could draw or imagine a 4-dimensional figure. How can one possibly do that? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where ...

Physical systems become inherently more complicated and difficult to produce in a lab as the number of dimensions they exist ...

The book Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott explores the concept of physical dimensions through characters who encounter higher-dimensional beings. The protagonist, “A. Square,” ...

The notion of dimension at first seems intuitive. Glancing out the window we might see a crow sitting atop a cramped flagpole experiencing zero dimensions, a robin on a telephone wire constrained to ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, revealing light-like particles with a strikingly high-dimensional character. By ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. We discovered a control method of the fractal ...
