For decades, scientists have been looking for evidence of strings that connect everything in the universe. A new model offers ...

The research was done by Caltech’s Clifford Cheung and Aaron Hillman along with Grant Remmen at New York University. They ...

String theory proclaims otherwise. According to string theory, if we could examine these particles with even greater precision—a precision many orders of magnitude beyond our present ...

Together, they are finding common ground, where string theory can be applied to the physics of quark–gluon plasma. High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons ...

For decades now, many physicists have pursued the hope that equations involving an especially tiny "string" could provide the theory that solves nature's ultimate subatomic mysteries. String ...

String theory has its supporters and its gainsayers among theoretical physicists. Even advocates admit that the theory could be entirely wrong (though naturally they don't think it is).

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known universe.

String theory and quantum gravity are two interconnected fields of theoretical physics that seek to unify the fundamental forces of nature and provide a comprehensive framework for understanding ...

Samir Mathur is professor of physics at The Ohio State University. He obtained his MS in physics in 1981 at IIT Kanpur, and ...

String Theory at the Hunter, in collaboration with Lee University and the Hunter Museum of American Art, will present a ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...
