Scientists engineered a nanostring that cascades energy through five vibration modes from a single push, opening new paths for ultrasensitive nanoscale sensors. (Nanowerk News) Scientists at TU Delft ...

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining signatures of string theory.

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of explaining the nature of every particle, ...

In this example we considered the free response of a fixed-fixed string to a set of initial conditions that resulted from pulling the string at its midpoint and releasing it from rest. We found that ...
