Physicists have long struggled to understand exactly what happens after subatomic particles collide. For decades, the best tool involved basic sketches (called Feynman diagrams) of each possible ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...
Via Alex Tabarrok, Quanta magazine reports on a decades-long effort that has recently produced a radically simplified way of calculating quantum interactions. Instead of adding up millions or billions ...
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Richard Feynman: For example, I invented some way of doing problems in physics, quantum electrodynamics ...
If you can ever peer beyond three dimensions, you will be able to see wondrous things: hyperdimensional jewels; shapes made of cubes and spheres arranged in mind-boggling formations. These beautiful ...
