String theory adds the new microscopic layer of a vibrating loop to the previously known progression from atoms through protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks. Although it is by no means obvious ...

electrons, and laws that hold the atoms together, we end up with theories, including string theory, that attempt to understand those questions. Another reason that we have to understand what makes ...

string theory says that everything is made of unbelievably tiny strings, whose vibrations produce effects that we interpret as atoms, electrons and quarks. In order for that to work, string theory ...

Together, they are finding common ground, where string theory can be applied to the physics of quark–gluon plasma. High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons ...

For nearly 10 years we’ve been operating in a search mode, and any day we could make a discovery,” said Gray Rybka, a ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

Hyperdimensionality ties into string theory, which states that reality is made up of infinitely small vibrating strings that ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

Due to their greater mass compared to electrons, muons are particularly sensitive to ... such as supersymmetry or even string ...

As we get ready to see 1 nm chipsets become a reality I have to wonder: when will we hit the limits of what is physically ...

Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — ...

For instance, it investigates how particles such as electrons can exist in multiple ... Hawking radiation, string theory, and ...
