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 ...

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 ...

Pseudospin, an additional degree of freedom inherent in graphene, plays a key role in understanding many fundamental phenomena such as the anomalous quantum Hall effect, electron chirality and Klein ...

Paul Dirac, born in England in 1902, grew up as a shy and lonely child under a strict father. He had the type of precise mind that makes for great mathematicians and good linguists - in fact, he often ...

Dirac cones, named after the renowned physicist Paul Dirac, are unique features found in the electronic band structures of certain materials, such as graphene and topological insulators. These cones ...

I have attached a photo of my Dirac Equation tattoo, which I obtained a few months ago. I am really happy with it. In fact, it caused quite a stir at the Yuri’s Night celebration at NASA Ames. I’m a ...
