Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a way to manipulate objects in photos in three dimensions, allowing you to see all sides of formerly 2D objects. How is it done? Some might say ...

Two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks looked into the night sky and saw geometric shapes emerge among the stars: a hunter, a lion, a water vase. In a way, they used these constellations to make ...

If you can ever peer beyond three dimensions, you will be able to see wondrous things: hyperdimensional jewels; shapes made of cubes and spheres arranged in mind-boggling formations. These beautiful ...

We are said that the real world in which humans live is present in three dimensions or four dimensions. "Three-dimensional" is a relatively easy-to-understand concept for people who live while ...

Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of the recent work by ...
