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 recent work by the ...

The shape of the universe When you look around the universe you live in, it looks like a 3D space, just like the surface of the Earth looks like a 2D space.

The universe may be vast, but researchers have multiple points of evidence that reveal its shape.

How can the tiniest particles and the vast structure of the universe be explained using the same kind of mathematics? This puzzle is the focus of recent research by mathematicians Claudia Fevola ...

What’s outside this “flat” bubble of our universe is anyone’s guess. This shape supports the idea of a cosmos that expands forever.

The shape of the universe When you look around the universe you live in, it looks like a 3D space, just like the surface of the Earth looks like a 2D space.
