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 ...

IN the attempt to discover a place for Dirac's equation in the geometry and metric of the physical world, it has been proposed to make use of Weyl's concept of gauging. It was thus proposed to bring ...

It’s hard to imagine a more formidable subject for a biographer. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (1902-84) was a pioneer of quantum theory in the 1920s and 1930s and fully as obscure and bizarre as that ...

Award-winning writer and physicist Graham Farmelo talks with podcast host Steve Mirsky (pictured) about The Strangest Man, Farmelo's biography of Nobel Prize–winning theoretical physicist Paul Dirac.

This is the story of Paul Dirac, "Britain's Einstein", an exceptionally strange man who spent his life studying the tiniest things he could imagine — atoms and the electrons, protons and neutrons they ...
