In his new book, Quantum Man, physicist and writer Lawrence M. Krauss describes the scientific contributions, and unique mind, of Nobel Prize-winner Richard Feynman, whom he calls "perhaps the ...

The winner of the 2009 Feynman Prize for Theory is Robert A. Freitas Jr. (IMM), in recognition of his pioneering theoretical work in mechanosynthesis in which he proposed specific molecular tools and ...

How do you calculate infinite quantum outcomes? Feynman Diagrams. The equations of quantum field theory allow us to calculate the behaviour of subatomic particles by expressing them as vibrations in ...

If we continue to teach today as we were taught yesterday, we deny students the future they deserve Nasir Rather As a physics student, who could be unaware of Richard Feynman? A Nobel laureate of ...

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 ...

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 1981, shortly after I arrived in the physics department at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, I heard a strong voice resonating down the corridor: “Hey Schwarz, how many dimensions ...

The video that Nadira, Lady Naipaul, sent was entitled “Death Doesn’t Exist”. Feynman died in 1988, so he must have made the video before that, ironically asserting that it wouldn’t happen? No!
