Physicist Richard Feynman won his scientific renown through the development of quantum electrodynamics, or QED, a theory describing the interaction of particles and atoms in radiation fields. As a part of this work he invented what came to be known as "Feynman Diagrams," visual representations of space-time particle interactions. For this work he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, together with J. Schwinger and S. I. Tomonaga, in 1965. Later in his life Feynman became a prominent public fig...

Physicist. Harold Webster worked at the M.I.T. Radiation Laboratory during World War II on the development of microwave wave guide mixers for radar systems. He then came to the Cornell Physics Department as a teaching assistant, majoring in experimental physics and minoring in theoretical physics and electrical engineering with Richard Feynman and Herbert Newhall. He later worked at the General Electric Research Lab in Schenectady until his retirement in 1985. Cornell Un...
