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 ...

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.

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.

String theory is widely considered beyond empirical investigation. But we could conceivably test it thanks to ancient particles called moduli, which might appear in astronomical observations, says ...

Mathematicians are exploring a string duality between F-theory and heterotic string theory in eight dimensions.

String theory aims to explain all fundamental forces and particles in the universe—essentially, how the world operates on the smallest scales. Though it has not yet been experimentally verified ...
