In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

String theory has come under fire in recent years. Promises have been made that have not been lived up to. Leiden theoretical physicists have now for the first time used string theory to describe a ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

String theory has so far failed to live up to its promise as a way to unite gravity and quantum mechanics. At the same time, it has blossomed into one of the most useful sets of tools in science.

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 ...
