PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers at the University of Wisconsin at Madison claim that they have found a way to determine the shape of the extra dimensions predicted by string theory. String theory is a ...

The most promising path for advancing physics—string theory—remains trapped in the realm of pure math. Do we need to wait for accelerators that are far more powerful than the LHC to test? my favorite ...

String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of explaining the nature of every particle, ...

String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a patch of space, the theory says, and you won’t see a menagerie of ...

A simple string test can reveal hidden health risks. This method checks your waist-to-height ratio, a key indicator of metabolic health. It helps identify potential issues like heart disease, type-2 ...
