A calculation so complex that it takes 20 years to complete on a powerful desktop computer can now be done in one hour on a regular laptop. Physicist Andreas Ekström at Chalmers University of ...

Using artificial intelligence, physicists have compressed a daunting quantum problem that until now required 100,000 equations into a bite-size task of as few as four equations—all without sacrificing ...

Modern physics explains much of how the universe works, from atoms to galaxies. Yet some problems remain stubbornly unresolved, resisting even the most advanced theories. These puzzles expose gaps in ...

What do you all do for your physics studies?Some of you may be doing your best just to memorize the formulas learned in class ...

John Hopfield, one of this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics, is a true polymath. His career started with probing the physics of solid states during the field’s heyday in the 1950s before ...

The namesake behind Netflix's new sci-fi series is an unsolvable physics problem that has baffled scientists for centuries. Paul Sutter breaks down the real three-body problem — and why nobody can ...

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Black physicists say efforts to recruit and retain more Black students must concentrate on challenges they face at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Primarily White Institutions.

Researchers trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than would typically be required, all without sacrificing accuracy. Using ...
