David Silver of Google DeepMind thinks AIs that ‘learn by experience’ are the future of AI – but maybe not in particle ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...

Let’s try a test. If I were to tell you that this article is about academic-staff development, would you: (a) laugh and move on; (b) initiate a group discussion on the decline of physics; (c) read on, ...

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of ...

A new study has shown that physics problems can light up parts of the brain traditionally not associated with learning science. The discovery could help improve how the subject is actually taught. The ...

Graphene is stronger than steel and a better conductor that copper, making the two-dimensional material of particular ...

Quantum computers that were previously limited to theoretical physics now learn to discover patterns, optimize decisions and ...

Here's a quick experiment. Take an object---just about any object will work---and place it on a flat surface. Give it a shove. I don't think anyone would be surprised to see the object speed up when ...
