String theory is one of the most ambitious ideas in modern physics, aiming to unite all forces of nature into one framework.

For decades, physicists have been working with a theory called the "standard model" as a way to understand the mysteries of the universe. But the standard model is incomplete. Just last month the ...

String theory strutted onto the scene some 30 years ago as perfection itself, a promise of elegant simplicity that would solve knotty problems in fundamental physics—including the notoriously ...

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...

A paper by the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) Director Ooguri Hirosi and Project Researcher Matthew Dodelson on the string theoretical effects outside the ...

A provocative branch of physics called string theory might explain everything in the universe, such as how matter came into being and why space... Short of 'All,' String Theorists Accused of Nothing A ...

A new article explores the string theoretical effects outside the black hole photon sphere. A paper by the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) Director Ooguri ...
