The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

Billions of stars fill our galaxy that become visible at certain times of year. And in the U.S., that time, known as "Milky ...

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms ...

We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a ...

As packaging complexity rises, the industry faces gaps in data, inspection, and process integration.

Physicists have uncovered a path to one-dimensional anyons, exotic particles that defy the boson-fermion divide and could reshape quantum physics as we know it. The research, presented in two papers ...

Ask the Meteorologist: Why will we see another big temperature swing, and will it last? By Grant Skinner, WRAL meteorologist After we enjoy a couple of days of spring-like temperatures in the 70s, we ...

“Other dimensions” are usually incomprehensible because they lie beyond human experience. Saturn was like that in the 17th century, since nobody had ever seen a ball surrounded by unattached rings.

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

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 ...
