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

String theory’s equations require that the universe has extra dimensions beyond the three of everyday experience—left/right, back/forth and up/down. Taking the math to heart, researchers ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single mathematical framework capable of describing the entirety of the known universe.

For years, string theory has been the darling of theoretical physics—graceful, bold, and with just enough poetry to keep ...

For decades now, many physicists have pursued the hope that equations involving an especially tiny "string" could provide the ...

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions. But even physicists ...

Earlier studies provided a rough picture of black holes, like a low-resolution image with 1,000 pixels. In contrast, ...

The idea of string theory was first floated in the 1960s and '70s. Scientists may have found the first observational evidence that supports string theory -- a hypothetical framework in physics ...

A team of physicists has discovered a new approach that redefines the conception of black holes by mapping out their detailed ...

Based in string theory, supermazes are pivotal to understanding ... In a framework of theories extending beyond Einstein's equations, supermazes provide a detailed portrait of the microscopic ...

The new insight could lead to a deeper understanding of black-hole microstructure in theoretical physics by redefining the conception of a black hole by mapping out their detailed structure.
