During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Algebraic geometry, the study of solutions to polynomial equations and their geometric properties, finds rich interplay with class field theory—a branch of number theory that classifies abelian ...

Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...

Scientists are working towards creating a new field called Molecular Geometry which provides geometrical solutions within the study of molecules. Professor Deok-Soo Kim of Hanyang University is ...
