A recipe for making strings in the lab Theoretical physicists in the Netherlands have proposed a way to make superstrings in the laboratory. If their ideas can be put into practice, it would allow aspects of string theory to be explored in an experiment for the first time. The new ideas rely on exploiting the properties of ultracold atomic gases (arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0505055). String theorists attempt to explain all the fundamental particles as vibrations on tiny strings on length scales of about 10-33 metres.
