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 ...

A team of computer scientists and nuclear physicists is developing a memory management framework to help speed up physics calculations on supercomputers. This diagram shows the optimizations made by ...

Applying techniques derived from classical and quantum physics calculations may radically reduce the time it takes to simulate the way that proteins fold. Applying techniques derived from classical ...

Data driven science. Attendees from government and academia gather at the 10th colloquium by the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials at the Japanese Embassy to discuss the future of ...

It's near the start of a new semester of physics. Many faculty are working on their plans for introductory physics courses. How many tests should there be? What about homework? Do I want to cover ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...
