How a single, invisible thread has reshaped our understanding of love, fate, and connection for centuries.

Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...

String theory is one of the most ambitious ideas in modern physics, aiming to unite all forces of nature into one framework. But its complexity and abstract concepts leave even experts divided. In ...

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

My latest NotebookLM podcast creation is deeper and more fascinating than anything I've ever created, and I bet it'll shock you, too. I don't understand string theory. In fact, I bet there's fewer ...

We’ve all been there; you might’ve met a person you were attracted to and felt a deep connection with, but passed them by and didn’t think anything of it until years later when they magically ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? Sign up for Today in Science, a free daily newsletter from Scientific ...

For decades, scientists have taken issue with “string theory” — a theory of the universe which contends that the fundamental forces and matter of nature can be reduced to tiny one-dimensional ...

Visualization of the allowed values of "dial settings" in the scattering amplitudes that describe the probability for particles to interact in the models introduced in this new work. The regions in ...
