A flame goes out, and something in the room shifts with it. Not because matter has vanished, but because a structure has ...

The late Nobel laureate Richard Feynman has been virtually canonized as the People's Physicist--an earthy, bongo-playing free spirit who delighted in puncturing the pomposity of the establishment. In ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...

Norton. 511 pp. $29.95 Anyone who writes knows how difficult it is to come up with a good title. Lynne Truss published a moderately enjoyable ramble about punctuation but somehow had the genius to ...

Files” may remember the famous line, “The truth is out there.” In that fictional universe, FBI agents chased shadowy ...

For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

To be Richard Feynman’s little sister was an adventure. As a teenager, the future Nobel laureate paid his sister, Joan, nine years younger, a few pennies a week to be an assistant in his home science ...

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 ...

No, it's not a link to some hooky torrent site with a pile of shitty PDF scans of the books. Caltech have made the complete Feynman Lectures on Physics available online in glorious technicolor HTML5.
