When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics.

Understanding and predicting complex physical systems remain significant challenges in scientific research and engineering. Machine learning models, while powerful, often fail to follow the ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Integral gamma-ray observatory has provided results that will dramatically affect the search for physics beyond Einstein. It has shown that any underlying quantum ...

This is the second article in a two-part series examining teaching techniques in college-level physics courses. The first part, which was printed in yesterday's paper, examined some of the bold leaps ...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often ...

Conducted in the mid-1980s, their research demonstrated that quantum mechanics can have practical applications on a human ...

STEM learning is critical for all students, regardless of their postsecondary path, but by high school, engagement often drops and students lose interest in critical subject matters. AI can make ...

Researchers have now achieved high-Q photonic flatbands that span the entire k-space of nonlocal metasurfaces and can be selectively tailored for linearly polarized or circularly polarized light, ...
