Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

The study of black holes has long been at the forefront of gravitational physics, and recent advances have significantly enriched our understanding of these enigmatic objects within the framework of ...

Nearly 60 years ago computer scientist Ruth Weiss of Bell Labs published a pioneering algorithm to turn three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings from any angle. But she ran into a ...

Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...

There’s hardly a problem that physicists haven’t tried to solve by adding extra dimensions to our everyday three of space and one of time: whether with scrunched up dimensions too small to see, or the ...
