He helped reshape modern string theory and won one of the world’s biggest science prizes. Yet Professor Ashoke Sen still ...

Tie a trefoil knot in a piece of string, seal the ends together, and try to wiggle it free without cutting. In three-dimensional space, the knot holds firm. Add a fourth spatial dimension, however, ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Explore the inspiring story of Ashoke Sen, an IITian physicist who won a $3 million prize—three times bigger than the Nobel—yet continues to cycle to work in India. A tale of genius, humility, and ...
