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 quantum physics, one of the calculations you might want to do is figure out how two or more particles may interact. This can become rather complicated and confusing once you get to more than two ...

Edward Tufte, celebrated statistician and master of informational graphics, transforms physics notations into works of art. If you ask a physicist how particles interact and you have a drawing surface ...

Illustration of a polaron The bright sphere is the electron, which is distorting the surrounding lattice. The wavy lines are high-order Feynman diagrams for the electron–phonon interaction. (Courtesy: ...

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 ...

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 ...
