Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings.
Results for "elementary particle"
What can AI tell us about the early universe?
Using an artificial neural network and AI, researchers are developing a powerful computational tool to model particle physics following the Big Bang.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.

X-Rays, Neutrons and Muons
Aiming elementary particles at surfaces and observing the result in order to glean information on the material is an old discipline: spectroscopy using photons has been performed for more than a century. But recently, a number of much more exotic, subatomic...
