Up to now, humans have only been able to observe four dimensions in the universe – height, length, width and time. But beyond these dimensions, collectively known as 'spacetime', there may be more ...

A new study explores the behavior of photons, the elementary particles of light, as they encounter boundaries where material properties change rapidly over time. This research uncovers remarkable ...

For decades mathematicians have searched for a specific pair of surfaces that can’t be transformed into each other in four-dimensional space. Now they’ve found them. In geometry and the closely ...

Yes, it is possible to create a three-dimensional image of a four-dimensional object: a hypercube is the four-dimensional analogue of a cube, and it has a well-known three-dimensional image that looks ...

Sure, you can cut a pie into pieces, but what if it’s in four dimensions? Using spectral graph theory, mathematicians have solved a decades-old problem. Graph theory uses nodes and edges (dots and ...
