Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles—though not yet those of our universe.

String Theory: A theoretical paradigm in which fundamental particles are realised as vibratory modes of one-dimensional strings, potentially unifying all interparticle forces including gravity.

Field Theory and String Theory Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Field Theory and String Theory.

And string theory, it turns out, has a persistent problem describing the most popular account of what went on during the universe’s earliest moments after the big bang: inflation.

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests.
