Two teams have shown how quantum approaches can solve problems faster than classical computers, bringing physics and computer science closer together. For Valeria Saggio to boot up the computer in her ...

Acceleration and thermal energy are physics concepts that can be applied to stock car racing. Jon Feingersh/The Image Bank via Getty Images America has a physics problem. Research shows that access to ...

Understanding the quantum universe is not an easy thing. Intuitive notions of space and time break down in the tiny realm of subatomic physics, allowing for behavior that seems, to our macro ...

Researchers employ machine learning to more accurately model the boundary layer wind field of tropical cyclones. Conventional approaches to storm forecasting involve large numerical simulations run on ...

In his years as a physics teacher, students often asked Mark Whalley why they had to learn the subject when most of them would never directly use it in their careers. Having never been satisfied with ...

Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

Teaching artificial intelligence to understand simple physics concepts, such as that one solid object can’t occupy the same space as another, could lead to more capable software that takes less ...
