String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another planet – they generally have the highest number of needs and the lowest ...

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, ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have devised two mathematical tools considered to be major contributions to the optimal design of a new generation of deformable bridges, ...

Fundamental kinks in the universe may evolve into complex structures within the stars. Fundamental kinks and defects in the fabric of the universe - cosmic strings beaded with magnetic monopoles - may ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have devised two mathematical tools considered to be a major contribution to the optimal design of a new generation of deformable bridges, ...

Researchers have developed a method for optimizing the initial tension of strings in tensegrity structures as well as a second technique to maximize the strength and minimize the weight of the rods ...
