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 ...

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 ...

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

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

When you upload a photo of one of your friends to Facebook, you set into motion a complex behind-the-scenes process. An algorithm whirs away, analyzing the pixels in the photo until it spits out your ...

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