This shift towards miniaturization and efficiency recalls an idea put forth over 60 years ago by physicist Richard Feynman in ...

Mathematicians just solved Feynman's Sprinkler Problem, a longstanding physics puzzle. In the 1880s, scientist Ernst Mach first presented this problem to Nobel laureate Richard Feynman.

Who was Richard Feynman and what did he actually say about nanotechnology? Back in 1959 it was only six years since Crick and Watson had determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the laser and ...

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch.

Richard Feynman (1918-88) was one of the most remarkable and gifted theoretical physicists of any generation. He was also known as the 'Great Explainer' because of his passion for helping non ...

Small wonder Nobel laureate Richard Feynman supposedly said: “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.” Not that physicists have stopped trying.
