If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by ...

What is string theory: It replaces point-like particles with tiny vibrating strings, requiring extra dimensions to reconcile gravity with quantum mechanics. Why it matters: String theory could unify ...

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

The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world—released today—shows a distinct lack of consensus across many of ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

Scientists have finally solved a major flaw in a century-old theory of color perception first proposed by Erwin Schrödinger.
