One often thinks of tuning strings down, but tuning them up is also a fine option. (One just has to be mindful of string breakage; if tuning up more than roughly a whole step, lighter gauge ...

In it, [The Action Lab] shows a 3D printed table that is held up only with strings. We didn’t say suspended by strings but held up. Or so it appears. The model is from Thingiverse, but it is one ...

Much to the delight of the mainstream media, there's a battle royal going on in physics. Over recent months, a fair bit of mud has been slung in the theoretical physics community over the issue of ...

Coming up with a model that ties up all four forces in one neat package is a long-standing dream for theoretical physicists. String theory claims to make that dream a reality. In simple terms ...
