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

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 ...

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

String theory remains elusive as a 'provable' phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method that ...

Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.

The belief that all physical matter is made up of vibrating elements called "strings." Officially known as "superstring theory," it differs from traditional physics, in which all matter is made up of ...
