Superstring theory and unification theory of elementary particles

Elementary particle theory could be a field of science aiming at a unified description of elementary particles, which are the source of all matter and interactions, also searching for an answer to a fundamental question: ‘how did our universe begin?’. Establishing the unification theory for elementary particles is the long-held dream of theoretical physicists, however, the journey until completion remains long. Superstring theory has been expected to be the most hopeful candidate of unification theory including the quantum gravity, which is still incomplete. Therefore, Superstring theory has been actively researched as a cutting-edge area in theoretical physics all around the world. 
At this laboratory, we are researching elementary particle physics, mainly focusing on Superstring theory, as well as deeply related topics in cosmology and the physics of black holes.
