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

But there is more to string theory than just explaining gravity on a molecular level; string theory is, essentially, the theory of everything. It is the attempt to unite the physics of our universe.

In string theory, a paradigm shift could be imminent. In June, a team of string theorists published a conjecture which sounded revolutionary: String theory is said to be fundamentally incompatible ...

Scientists propose a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory as the basis of all physics. Their calculations "could solve the ...

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.

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

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

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.

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