String theorists and their predecessors have studied the effects of higher dimensional spacetimes at very short distances for decades. New theories, which offer a novel approach to the hierarchy problem, have proposed that extra dimensions might be visible at larger distances, comparable to the TeV scale. This allows for experiment to explore their presence. Here, we review the principal features of these scenarios and their resulting phenomenology.
