Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.

A new study just added an interesting twist to the complicated history of the physics theory.

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...
