Nanostring discovered that transmits vibrations in cascade: the future of more sensitive, accurate, and innovative sensors.

Scientists engineered a nanostring that cascades energy through five vibration modes from a single push, opening new paths for ultrasensitive nanoscale sensors.

Some physicists think there is a unit of matter more fundamental than what has been experimentally confirmed to date. They think that everything in the universe is made of tiny vibrating strands of ...

The idea of string theory was first floated in the 1960s and '70s. Scientists may have found the first observational evidence that supports string theory -- a hypothetical framework in physics ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...
