Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

Caltech scientists have found a fast and efficient way to add up large numbers of Feynman diagrams, the simple drawings ...

All the latest science news on theoretical physics from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Although the abstract realms of theoretical physics may seem like a far cry from the literal nuts and bolts of heavy appliances, “I think it’s not too different,” he says. “Building a theory that ...

In the late 1940s, Richard Feynman invented a visual tool for simplifying particle calculations that forever changed theoretical physics.

The practice of purposely looping thread to create intricate knit garments and blankets has existed for millennia. Though its precise origins have been lost to history, artifacts like a pair of wool ...

Now you tell me if theoretical physics (which, incidentally, much of the time requires little more than a sharp pencil and plenty of paper by way of resources) is a waste of resources.

Great theories draw on the same creative roots as great poetry or fiction, but the constraints of fact add something unique, says Giovanni Vignale ...

In addition, in many instances I thought that the explanation would benefit from a diagram or two. Susskind is one of the fathers of string theory, arguably one of the most abstract and theoretical ...

There’s a good reason you should care about the discovery of gravitational waves, even if you don’t understand the science.

As the culture of the diagram in science is magnificently wide in breadth and scope, for this post, I will concentrate on a few related examples in physics and one from mathematics.
