Richard Feynman's famous diagrams embody a deep shift in thinking about how the universe is put together. Richard Feynman looked tired when he wandered into my office. It was the end of a long, ...

Physicists Nima Arkani-Hamed and Jaroslav Trnka recently published a significant advance in the study of Scattering Amplitudes. These are formulas that physicists use to calculate everything from the ...

geralt Physicist Richard P. Feinman received the Nobel Prize in Physics for contributing significantly to the development of quantum electrodynamics (QED). One of the achievements of Feynman Feynman ...

Illustration of a polaron in a crystal: the central bright sphere is the charge carrier, distorting the surrounding lattice. The wavy lines represent high-order Feynman diagrams for the ...

Richard Feynman's famous diagrams weren’t just a way to do calculations. They represented a deep shift in thinking about how the universe is put together. Betting on the Future of Quantum Gravity New ...

At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, physicists shoot protons around a 17-mile track and smash them together at nearly the speed of light. It’s one of the most finely tuned scientific experiments ...

The next time you get a letter, its stamp might have printed on it examples of one the greatest conceptual tools of modern physics. The tool is a kind of line drawing, and a bunch of those drawings ...

Before the explosion in 'infographics' describing everything from cocktail mixology to US health-care spending, there was Edward Tufte. Tufte, a statistician, is perhaps the world's most celebrated ...

It was World War II and scientists belonging to the Manhattan Project worked on calculations for the atomic bomb. Meanwhile, in one of the buildings, future Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist ...
