Dark matter appears to hold galaxies together, yet it has never shown itself directly. A new theory suggests the missing ...

The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be "in tune" with a hidden fifth dimension, according ...

A new theoretical framework suggests dark matter’s elusive behavior may arise from the geometry of a hidden fifth dimension.

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 ...

A 2021 paper proposed that fermionic dark matter could inhabit a warped fifth dimension. The model uses a new scalar field as ...

Two major mysteries in science, the nature of dark matter and the possible existence of higher dimensions, could be linked, ...

When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain. Ordinary matter, the stuff we can see and touch, accounts for just ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks to Esra Barlas Yücel, a researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, about Fermilab's most precise measurements of the muon particle's magnetic wobble. It's ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

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 ...
