For years, Rutgers physicist David Shih solved Rubik's Cubes with his children, twisting the colorful squares until the ...

What took scientists a century to solve a 100-year-old Physics related mystery, AI has solved it in seconds. Researchers from the University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

For decades, scientists have tried and failed to explain how the force that binds the heart of atoms together really works.

The following year, researchers at the University of California, Merced, made conductive polymer films that actually toughen ...

When tectonic plates move, they rarely do so smoothly. Sometimes they slide almost imperceptibly; at other times, stress is ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve complex quantum problems, once thought to require massive supercomputers, on ...

I am sitting in a lecture theatre, and in front of me is a sight that I am still getting used to. I am at the American Physical Society Global Physics Summit, the world’s largest annual meeting of ...

How do you create an inquisitive mind? Simply accumulating knowledge isn't good enough, suggest Lei Bao and colleagues (Am. J. Phys. 77, 1118–1123; 2009). Specifically, the teaching and learning of ...

Physics of the future: "AI will keep getting better and better at physics. We will not." Matthew Schwartz of Harvard University predicts an inevitable role for AI in physics. (Courtesy: Candice Chua) ...

In the stock market, there are two fundamental types of companies. The first type constitutes classical businesses, which are appraised in the antiquated manner: by their cash flows, by real revenue, ...
