A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

We can tie knots in three dimensions because one-dimensional ropes “catch on each other”. This is why a long rope wound around itself, if done right, won’t come apart. We trust knots with our lives ...

What would the universe be like if it had four spatial dimensions instead of three? Experimentalists are starting to explore the physics of higher dimensions with the help of recently developed tricks ...
