The study of Dirac-harmonic maps sits at the intersection of differential geometry and quantum field theory, uniting concepts from harmonic maps and spinor fields into a single elegant framework.

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
