String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.

The invisible string theory went viral on TikTok in 2023, but has been around for years. Here’s everything to know about the invisible string theory.

A new understanding inspired by string theory shows that our universe may be more stable than we previously thought.

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. What we perceive as particles are actually vibrations in loops ...
