Tools can change not only how theorists calculate but also what they calculate about. But two decades ago, Ursula Klein, a scholar from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, ...

As one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century, Richard Feynman was known for a lot. Early in his career, he contributed to the development of the first atomic bomb as a group leader of 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 ...

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 ...

In quantum physics, one of the calculations you might want to do is figure out how two or more particles may interact. This can become rather complicated and confusing once you get to more than two ...

Edward Tufte, celebrated statistician and master of informational graphics, transforms physics notations into works of art. If you ask a physicist how particles interact and you have a drawing surface ...

Generations of physicists have spent much of their lives using Richard Feynman's famous diagrams to calculate how particles interact. New mathematical tools are simplifying the results and suggesting ...
