String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply related to one another. The forces are linked by so-called dualities: the ...

The physicist Subir Sachdev borrows tools from string theory to understand the puzzling behavior of superconductors. String theory was devised as a way to unite the laws of quantum mechanics with ...

My latest NotebookLM podcast creation is deeper and more fascinating than anything I've ever created, and I bet it'll shock you, too. I don't understand string theory. In fact, I bet there's fewer ...

Explore non-perturbative phenomena in string theory research and its implications for understanding nature and new physics. It is safe to say that, at this point in time, we do not understand string ...

What is the Theory of Everything, and why is it so important? This video explores the science behind this elusive goal, from ...

David Gross shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics and is the director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Gross is one of the leading ...

Renowned theoretical physicist, Brian Greene, explains string theory as if he's talking to a graduate student of physics and then he boils it down for the rest of us. Greene is the co-founder of the ...
