With just a handful of assumptions, string theory stands alone. Based on the idea that all subatomic particles are made up of vibrating strings of energy, string theory is a candidate for a “theory of ...

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.

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

String theory attempts to unify general relativity and quantum theory. Popular in the 1990s, string theory fell out of favor as it failed to provide testable predictions and required ten dimensions ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe ...

In holographic theories, physicists may have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots: a measure of ...

Chris Wedel is a fan of all things tech and gadgets. Living in rural Kansas with his wife and two young boys makes finding ways to stay online tricky — not to mention making my homestead smarter.

In 2012, Professor Rom Harré defined positioning theory as being “… based on the principle that not everyone involved in a social episode has equal access to rights and duties to perform particular ...
