In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Taylor Swift was on to something with her 2020 Folklore track “Invisible String.” The idea that individuals are intrinsically linked to each other has gained traction over the last few years, but the ...

String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads of ...

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 ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

As temperatures soared into the 90s on the evening of July 12, four musicians with ties to the University came together to emulate how physicists imagined the forces of the universe to come together.

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. What we perceive as particles are actually vibrations in loops ...
