String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...

How can the string theory's requirement for extra dimensions possibly be reconciled with our everyday experiences in the universe? Curled up and compact ...

Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, it became apparent that most ...

Mathematicians are exploring a string duality between F-theory and heterotic string theory in eight dimensions.

String theory is widely considered beyond empirical investigation. But we could conceivably test it thanks to ancient particles called moduli, which might appear in astronomical observations, says ...

The invisible string theory went viral on TikTok in 2023, but has been around for years. Here’s everything to know about the invisible string theory.
