Scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have used mathematical concepts from string theory, a theoretical description of the mechanics of the entire universe, to upend over a century of ...

What if every person you meet, including those you’ve yet to cross paths with, is quietly tethered to you by a single thread you can't even see? That's the premise of the invisible string theory. The ...

Cosmic strings are artifacts of what the universe looked like in the moments before it rapidly changed from a high-energy to low-energy environment—the Big Bang. Today, scientists believe cosmic ...

Blood vessels, neurons, and tree branches often form junctions that look irregular, yet they follow a shared geometric rule. Using three-dimensional scans from six kinds of organisms, researchers in ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...
