This video introduces string theory in clear, simple terms, outlining its core ideas and why scientists study it as a possible framework for understanding the universe. Trump v. Trump. Which president ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here. Researchers have found that physical networks in living systems follow rules ...

Perhaps the only thing larger than Savannah Iamurri’s love of sports is her passion for saving animals. The Girard Estates resident is a senior three-sport athlete at Philadelphia Performing Arts: A ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to combine general relativity and quantum field theory ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to ...

Scientists propose a bold test of string theory by identifying a hypothetical five-particle family, called a 5-plet, that string theory cannot produce. If such a particle were found at the LHC, it ...

During the 20th century, physicists introduced and refined string theory, a theoretical framework that promised to unite quantum mechanics and general relativity. Instead of point-like particles, ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...
