One of the best-performing models in cosmology is also one with the least physical rationale behind it. Columnist Leah Crane ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Physics can feel intimidating, but mastering problem-solving is about mindset, strategy, and practice—not innate genius. Research-backed approaches like Polya’s method, inquiry-based learning, and the ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

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 ...

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

Large language models are advancing in solving complex physics problems, from symbolic reasoning to multi-step quantum calculations. New research shows their ability to handle intricate derivations ...

As LLM calculation skills advance, theoretical fields of science are reckoning with the possibility that they could be ...

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.
