Richard Feynman (1918-1988) was a American physicist.
After studying at M.I.T. and Princeton University, he assisted in the development of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos.
Feynman's major contribution was to quantum electrodynamics. He introduced the diagrams, now called Feynman diagrams, which are used to describe the behaviour of systems of interacting particles. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965.
He had a leading role in the investigation of the crash of the space shuttle Challenger.
