Tie a trefoil knot in a piece of string, seal the ends together, and try to wiggle it free without cutting. In three-dimensional space, the knot holds firm. Add a fourth spatial dimension, however, ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

Van Vleck’s largest lecture hall was filled to the brim for popular YouTuber Grant Sanderon’s talk on high-dimensional ...

Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

Vijay Balasubramanian (University of Pennsylvania) emphasised that the challenge is not only reproducing the familiar area law – which links entropy to the area of the event horizon – but also ...

Physicists confirm a decades-old 2D magnetism theory by observing exotic nanoscale vortex phases in ultrathin material.

Physicists have experimentally demonstrated a sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an ultrathin material that for the first ...

Abstract: The accurate and dimension-aware modeling of magnetic core loss is fundamentally limited by a trade-off: model-driven approaches are inherently dimension-aware but are often inaccurate; ...

Zsuzsanna Dancso does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

In three-dimensional particle physics, elementary particles divide nicely into fermions and bosons. But in lower-dimensions, things aren’t so clear cut. These dimensions host a “third kingdom” of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...
