A team of scientists finds a way to evaluate highly complex Feynman integrals. How does the world look like at the smallest scales? This is a question scientists are trying to answer in particle ...

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 ...

Mathematicians and physicists have noticed a strange coincidence occurring between their respective fields: the values computed from particle physics experiments seem to correspond with a specific set ...

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 ...

In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in and we take a look. The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the ...

At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, physicists shoot protons around a 17-mile track and smash them together at nearly the speed of light. It’s one of the most finely tuned scientific experiments ...

A path-valued interacting particle systems model for the genealogical structure of genetic algorithms is presented. We connect the historical process and the distribution of the whole ancestral tree ...

Mathematics and physics share a close, reciprocal relationship. Mathematics offers the language and tools to describe physical phenomena, while physics drives the development of new mathematical ideas ...

An unexpected connection has emerged between the results of physics experiments and an important, seemingly unrelated set of numbers in pure mathematics. At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, ...

I've been covering chemistry software in my last few articles, so this time, I decided to move to physics and introduce a package called JaxoDraw. In physics, there's a powerful technique for ...
