A new study just added an interesting twist to the complicated history of the physics theory.

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by ...

Quantum computing could lead to revolutions in cryptography, materials design and telecommunications. But fulfilling those ...

Well, around a similar time, the American Physical Society (APS) invited researchers and science enthusiasts to chime in on ...

Quantum field dynamics in the presence of cosmic strings explores how one-dimensional topological defects, arising in various grand unified and string-theoretic models, imprint distinctive signatures ...
