Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.

A team of neuroscientists proposes a new theory -- backed by data from people, animal models and computational simulation -- to explain how beta waves emerge in the brain.

A Sine Function on Steroids. Number theory is mostly about integers, ... The type of string theory that Borcherds investigated can only be mathematically formulated in 25 spatial dimensions.

Here's everything you need to know about String Theory, one of the most spectacular (and controversial) physics theories ever developed.

The j-function describes the strings’ oscillations in a particular string theory model, and the monster group captures the symmetries of the space-time fabric that these strings inhabit.

String theory: A theoretical model ... These pages are a beta release and will be updated as we learn how best to help people gain value from a research topic summary.

In string theory, Calabi-Yau geometries involve the compactification of higher dimensions. Here, they are not merely abstractions but instead emerge from the researchers’ calculations of black ...
