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

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

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, it became apparent that most ...

String Theory: A theoretical paradigm in which fundamental particles are realised as vibratory modes of one-dimensional strings, potentially unifying all interparticle forces including gravity.

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.

While string theory is considered by some to be nothing more than elegant mathematics, the mathematics themselves have proven useful.

And string theory, it turns out, has a persistent problem describing the most popular account of what went on during the universe’s earliest moments after the big bang: inflation.

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