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 ...

Richard Feynman looked tired when he wandered into my office. It was the end of a long, exhausting day in Santa Barbara, sometime around 1982. Events had included a seminar that was also a performance ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the physics blogs I read regularly is ZapperZ's Physics and Physicists, where last week he posted an interesting observation about the difference between subjects when it comes to modes of ...
