A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Physicists have produced experimental evidence that anyons, exotic quasiparticles long thought to exist only in ...

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

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there’s no actual evidence—yet. Albert Einstein believed space ...
