By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, Feynman diagrams have established themselves as one of the sharpest tools in a theoretical physicist's toolbox. Scientists have now extended the technique: originally devised for subatomic particles, the simplest objects imaginable, the technique can now work with molecules. The research is expected to drastically simplify the description of molecular rotations in solvents.
