Canada's Mark Carney plans a pipeline to ship 1M barrels of crude daily to Asia, a macro energy shift with implications for ...

Hello to everyone who loves the mathematics of multidimensionality lurking behind the scenes of everyday life. This time, I would like to guide you into the world of String Math, the most exciting ...

String theory attempts to unify general relativity and quantum theory. Popular in the 1990s, string theory fell out of favor as it failed to provide testable predictions and required ten dimensions ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

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.

First let’s start with a very obvious question our students are going to have… What is geometry? Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and a branch of mathematics. It focuses on shapes and their ...

Heterotic string models arise by compactifying ten-dimensional string theories that combine supersymmetric strings with large gauge groups on six-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifolds. The choice of Calabi ...

Fifty-eight years after it first appeared, string theory remains the most popular candidate for the “theory of everything,” the unified mathematical framework for all matter and forces in the universe ...

In October 1984 I arrived at Oxford University, trailing a large steamer trunk containing a couple of changes of clothing and about five dozen textbooks. I had a freshly minted bachelor’s degree in ...

A research team led by Maxim Kontsevich, a professor at the French Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies (IHES) and a 1998 Fields Medalist, has released a proof claiming to solve a long-standing ...
