PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers at the University of Wisconsin at Madison claim that they have found a way to determine the shape of the extra dimensions predicted by string theory. String theory is a ...

The most promising path for advancing physics—string theory—remains trapped in the realm of pure math. Do we need to wait for accelerators that are far more powerful than the LHC to test? my favorite ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...
