In 1998, astronomers discovered dark energy. The finding, which transformed our conception of the cosmos, came with a little-known consequence: It threw a wrench into the already daunting task of ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to design 3D structures that deploy from a flat form with a single pull of a string. The method could help engineers rapidly assemble complex structures in ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string. The ...

NORWALK — For 53 years it has been a tradition. Students from across Norwalk step onto the biggest stage in the city clutching their instruments, bows and music to create the annual All-City String ...

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — On the first day of Wimbledon, Ed Day, a university student from just outside London, ran 17.5 kilometers across the All England Club. Those kilometers took him from the ...

Python provides us with many tools for manipulating strings. We won’t introduce them all here, but instead we’ll demonstrate a few which we’ll use in programming exercises, and then introduce more as ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...
