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 ...
The Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations provide a full relativistic description for particles with spin ½ and 0, respectively. A calculation now shows how to extend this description to particles, such as ...
The properties of graphene are governed not by classical physics, but by quantum mechanics.Dirac electrons: Massless ...
It might be possible to probe a close analogue of zitterbewegung by recreating the mathematics of Dirac's equation in a quantum wire. Dirac's equation has an infinite number of solutions with negative ...
Most people have never heard of Paul Dirac. But, a new exhibition by Britain's Royal Society points out, it's because of him that we've got electronics. So who was he? The mathematician Mark Kac ...
