While the existence of extra dimensions is a cool idea, it's currently not supported by any evidence ...

Physicists are quietly testing wild new theories that treat a hidden fifth dimension as more than science fiction, suggesting ...

Scientists studying dark matter have published new findings based on a warped extra dimension model that suggests particles in a fifth dimension.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

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

There may be another universe just a millimeter away from ours, hovering in an extra, hidden dimension. At any moment this second universe (or “membrane,” in M-theory—a relative of superstring theory) ...

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 ...

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 ...
