Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. Subscribe to our ...

(A) Coil system. (B) Tank and helical microswimmer. (C) Real experimental image. (D) Helical microswimmer with detailed shape parameters. The red dashed line indicates the body axis of the helical ...

A chip smaller than one square millimeter stores 160 holographic images at arbitrary 3D coordinates, with each spatial ...

Physicists of the 19th century assumed that space was distinct from time – and two researchers now suspect they were correct to do so. Their conclusion, which comes from considering the behaviour of ...

The schematics of the three-dimensional varifocal meta-device for manipulating the position of the focal spot and display. The insert image on the top is the synthetic focusing phase of three ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...

When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier-sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...
