A course offered at the University of Wisconsin has long been connecting seemingly unrelated fields — the sciences and arts — into an interdisciplinary education. Physics 109 — Physics in the Arts — ...

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 ...

Claudio Chamon will join the Purdue University College of Science beginning fall 2025. Photo by Frank Curran. Quantum science is the next frontier in scientific achievement and Purdue University is ...

New research from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) shows why widely used algorithms for measuring economic complexity produce trustworthy results and how these tools may benefit diverse areas such as ...

Over 8,000 people explored hands-on science experiments, from robotic arms to liquid nitrogen ice cream, at CSU's Little Shop of Physics open house.

Curiosity-driven research has long sparked technological transformations. A century ago, curiosity about atoms led to quantum mechanics, and eventually the transistor at the heart of modern computing.

Theoretical physicists collaborate with OpenAI's artificial intelligence to solve complex calculations involving gluons and ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students, forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your ...

We have seen a steady increase in high school physics enrollments since the survey’s inception in 1983, with one prior exception. The 2023-24 survey marks the first time physics enrollments declined ...
