String theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental particles aren’t points but tiny vibrating strings, whose different modes create the variety of matter and forces, including gravity through the ...

Supersymmetry, a theory that posits every known elementary particle has a heavier “superpartner” particle, has been the superstar of theoretical physics for the past half century. Its ...

One of the greatest ideas in all of physics, regardless of whether it turns out to be a true idea that reflects reality or not, is that of supersymmetry, or SUSY for short. The Standard Model of ...

It then embarked on its real purpose, to search for a phenomenon called Supersymmetry. This theory, devised in the 1970s and known as Susy for short, is the all-containing basket into which ...

"Inspired by the concept of supersymmetry from physics," he says, "we can achieve this kind of phase-locked single-mode lasing in a laser array by adding a dissipative 'superpartner.'" In particle ...

Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet. The Standard Model of particle physics is ...

He contributed this article to Space.com's Expert Voices: Opinions and Insights. Supersymmetry is the idea that the fundamental particles of nature are connected through a deep relationship.

So here is an example: Supersymmetry, you know, that was an idea advocated for decades now. [Editor's note: Supersymmetry is the theory that for every fundamental particle, there is a "partner ...
