A new Duke Quantum Center study shows how quantum simulators can help researchers explore particle formation and the ...

Strike a bell, and it rings with a pitch and a fading that tell you about the bell: its size, its shape, the metal it is made ...

A research team led by faculty at the Duke Quantum Center (DQC) has observed string-breaking dynamics related to ...

String theory is the idea that the building blocks of nature are made up of tiny, one-dimensional strings of energy rather than point particles. According to the theory, these strings vibrate at ...

For decades, string theory occupied an extraordinarily powerful position within theoretical physics. Eric Weinstein argues that this dominance came at a serious cost, claiming competing ideas and ...

String theory has been famously untestable for decades. This week the Economist reported that has changed, and the reason involves an extra dimension of space that might be just big enough to notice ...
