Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd like to clarify. "Brane" is short for membrane, the theoretical construct becoming popular as an explanation of the shortcomings of String Theory.

Somewhat. The membrane approach has led some to postulate multiverses or parallel universes. Strictly speakng, brane theory is involved with branes confined to the universe of our existence, though some interactions may not be as obvious as light (for instance). String theory will likley prove to be somewhat the state of our reality, though perhaps not having 26 dimensions.
