Brian Greene likes to think he's got it all figured out. Literally. And it all boils down to string. A Columbia University physics professor, Greene is one of the world's leading thinkers and writers ...

“The subatomic particles we see in nature, the quarks, the electrons are nothing but musical notes on a tiny vibrating string . . . Physics is nothing but the laws of harmony that you can write on ...

Both scientists and writers have been baffled by black holes for years. They swallow light, matter, and time, leaving one with only questions. But recent research indicates that these giants of the ...

Visualization of the allowed values of "dial settings" in the scattering amplitudes that describe the probability for particles to interact in the models introduced in this new work. The regions in ...

What's the physical mechanism behind the distinctive sound of a banjo? David Politzer — probably better known for his work on quantum chromodynamics than his passion for banjos — may not be the first ...
