Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, ...

This is Part 1 of a series on large extra dimensions. I always say that one of the things that separates real science from ...

The 2026 edition of the traditional Boltzmann Lecture will be held on Monday, February 23rd, at 14:00, in Room 128–129. The lecture is organized by the Statistical Physics group at SISSA, close to ...

Introduction The transition from clinical practice to an academic role presents a multifaceted challenge for anaesthesia master’s students in Iran, as it demands not only clinical expertise but also ...

The universe feels three-dimensional — but some of the deepest physics suggests reality may have 11 dimensions hidden from our senses. This idea comes from theories like string theory and M-theory, ...

Cosmic strings are artifacts of what the universe looked like in the moments before it rapidly changed from a high-energy to low-energy environment—the Big Bang. Today, scientists believe cosmic ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? Sign up for Today in Science, a free daily newsletter from Scientific ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

Since Galileo Galilei and Newton, the assumption is valid that inert and heavy mass are equivalent. This is, however, questioned by new physical theories such as the String theory. Now, the ...

Physicist Michael Pravica of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, proposes that our awareness isn’t fully tethered to the three spatial dimensions we perceive. Instead, in rare moments of deep thought ...
