 apparently they found a new connection between string theory and quantum field theory, under certain open superstring condition (beta = 1) and might lead to new ways of understanding the quantum theories because it goes back to the first particles (tho my understanding of string theory is mainly based on sheldon cooper and the big bang theory sitcom!)
