For decades now, many physicists have pursued the hope that equations involving an especially tiny "string" could provide the ...

String theory may be our best attempt at a theory of everything, except that it can't describe an expanding universe like ...

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 ...

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.

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter talks about the science behind "Three Body Problem," "Interstellar," and "Avengers: Infinity War." ...

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 ...
