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

An elegant universe composed entirely of the music of strings. But for all its ambition, the basic idea of string theory is surprisingly simple.

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains why he thinks string theory is the best way to understand how the universe works. Sloth bears are the world's deadliest bear and for humans, outrunning ...

YOU are made up not of flesh and blood, nor even atoms, but infinitesimally small vibrating strings like closed loop elastic bands. It is also probable you exist in 11 dimensions, according to ...

Scientists propose a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory as the basis of all physics. Their calculations "could solve the ...

Alongside string theory’s explanation of the generation of subatomic particles is another idea often found in science-fiction novels: the concept of extra dimensions.

Researchers at The University of South Carolina, USC, have proposed that a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics does exist. The link assumes that string field theory is a fully ...
