MADISON – When the world’s most powerful particle accelerator starts up later this year, exotic new particles may offer a glimpse of the existence and shapes of extra dimensions. Researchers from the ...

Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...
