British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most significant figures in the early days of quantum physics, who along with Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. But it ...

An international group of physicists has traced the origin of an electromagnetic interaction to the Dirac equation, a fundamental equation of quantum physics. The interaction couples the spin of the ...

The idea of the spinning electron, as proposed by Samuel Goudsmit and George Uhlenbeck in 1925 (Milestone 3), and incorporated into the formalism of quantum mechanics by Wolfgang Pauli, was a solution ...

You probably don't think about the Dirac equation on an average day, but it describes just about everything that happens to you. People hate losing money about twice as much as they love making it: It ...

The list of famous Bristolians is an illustrious one. The Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, for example, is recognized everywhere in Bristol for his many iconic structures, even though he ...
