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

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

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a ...

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.
