Richard Feynman was an American physicist specializing in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics. After growing up in Queens, New York City, he went on to receive his undergraduate degree from the ‘Massachusetts Institute of Technology’ and a doctoral degree from ‘Princeton University.’ He used his gained expertise in physics to contribute to the development of the atomic bomb, in what was called the ‘Manhattan Project,’ during ‘World War II.’ Working with other professionals in his field, he went on to receive a ‘Nobel Prize’ in Physics for research on quantum electrodynamics. Another significant study which he undertook was the super-fluidity in super-cooled liquid helium. The Feynman diagrams, as they are known today, were a concept developed by this eminent scientist; the diagrams are used to pictorially represent the behavior of sub-atomic particles. Dabbling with particle physics, he came up with the Parton model. He was later credited with expanding physics research through the creation of quantum computing and his theories concerning nanotechnology. Over the course of his career, Feynman took on a number of assistantships and appointed positions at various prestigious institutions across the country. He presented lectures which were later published and are now considered one of the most well-known books ever written on physics.
