Scientists propose a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory as the basis of all physics. Their calculations "could solve the ...

Researchers at The University of South Carolina, USC, have proposed that a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics does exist. The link assumes that string field theory is a fully ...

For centuries, researchers have attempted to describe all the fundamental forces of nature and how they interact in a single theory. This unified field theory stumped the likes of Albert Einstein, who ...

Glassy state: a new field theory describes amorphous materials such as glass beads. (Courtesy: iStock/schmidt-z) Many common materials such as glass, compacted sand and toothpaste have a solid’s ...

This is the second piece in a series on the search for new physics at CERN. This might be a very big deal. The Standard Model, which has withstood all experimental challenges for forty years, is our ...

Crystal field theory is a theory that describes the breaking of the degeneracy of electronic orbitals (that is, their energy levels are not longer identical) that occurs in transition metal ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

Three decades ago, a British documentary series named Connections aired, which showed viewers how various scientific achievements and discoveries were really interrelated, no matter how disparate they ...
