Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

From our DNA strands to fishing rods to art, knots are all around us. Ana Wright, a Davidson College assistant mathematics ...

For decades, string theory has promised to be the ultimate explanation for how our universe works. In this theory, all matter ...

Starting with the basic assumption of no saturation or hysteresis, and with distribution of armature phase m. m. f. effectively sinusoidal as far as regards phenomena dependent upon rotor position, ...

In a sense, queer theory is the study of what we as a society deem as “normal” and why these assumptions exist in the first place. It seeks to understand who benefits from and who is ...

The coupled-mode theory of parallel waveguides is derived from a variational principle for the propagation constant of the waveguide-wave solution using a superposition of the uncoupled modes as a ...

Most organic molecules have a mirror-image twin. This concept is known as chirality. Yet life only uses one chiral molecule, not the other. The reason for this asymmetry is one of the greatest ...

CAMDEN—When Jeff Clarke opened String Theory, his first music store, in October 2024, he had dreams that this two-story building at 57 Bay View Street in Camden would be more than just a place to buy ...

String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a "provable" phenomenon.

Can we ever truly have a theory of quantum gravity? What is supersymmetry, the landscape, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence? What do holograms have to do with this? How many dimensions do we live in?
