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

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

Scientists hope to find clues of the next big theory there, the one to bridge the chasm between quantum mechanics and relativity. The most discussed and debated idea is string theory but others ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests.

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory ...

Quantum gravity? String theory. Electron mass? String theory. Strength of the forces? String theory. Dark energy? String theory. Speed of light? String theory. It's such a tempting, beautiful idea.

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By ...

The idea of String Theory is that our Universe came from a higher-dimensional, more symmetric, more complex state with an enormous number of degrees of freedom. In order for String Theory to be ...
