Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918 - Feb. 15, 1988) worked on the Manhattan Project and developed the Feynman diagrams — a way to describe the behavior of subatomic particles. His work expanded our ...

Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Skip to main content. ... A diagram shows how quarks usually fit into our understanding of tiny particles.

Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make ...

Feynman diagrams were devised by Richard Feynman in the 1940s. They feature lines representing elementary particles that converge at a vertex (which represents a collision) and then diverge from there ...

In our study published on October 21, 2024, in the journal Physical Review Letters, we predict the existence of a new type of black hole that would be surrounded by rings similar in shape to those of ...

Thomas Gehrmann remembers the deluge of mathematical expressions that came cascading down his computer screen one day 20 years ago.. He was trying to calculate the odds that three jets of elementary ...

A diagram shows the particles of the standard model of particle physics. (Image credit: Cush/Wikimedia Commons) The CMS researchers reasoned that, if the collisions between protons accelerated to ...

Twistor diagrams depicting an interaction between six gluons, in the cases where two (left) and four (right) of the particles have negative helicity, a property similar to spin.

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 ...

When heavy ions such as gold collide in a particle collider, they form exotic states of matter that are similar to fluids. If the particles hit non-centrally, then the fluid is predicted to have ...
