Read article 'mSUGRA celebrates its 20th year'
The SUGRA20 conference recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the invention of minimal supergravity grand unification, or mSUGRA, as Paul Frampton and Pran Nath describe.
Read article 'Universal fluctuations'
In this book, the authors present the appearance of universal limit probability laws in physics and their connections with the recently developed scaling theory of fluctuations.
Read article 'Testing times for strings'
The "hidden" dimensions of string theory may be much larger than was previously thought and may soon come within experimental reach, together with the strings themselves. Ignatios Antoniadis gives an ...
Read article 'The Global Approach to Quantum Field Theory'
This work in two volumes covers classical field theory, quantum mechanics and all major theoretical aspects of quantum field theory, and shows how they are related.
Read article 'Are the fundamental constants constant?'
Recent astronomical observations have raised the possibility that the natural constants are time-dependent. Harald Fritzsch considers the case for inconstant constants.

Read article 'Supergravity celebrates quarter of a century'
The first complete theory of supergravity appeared 25 years ago last autumn. To mark the occasion, the State University of New York at Stony Brook held a workshop on the subject in December.
Read article 'Testing models for quantum gravity'
General relativity made Einstein an instant success. However, reconciling the theory with quantum mechanics has proved to be a formidable task, which is far from complete. Nick Mavromatos explains.
