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 ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Researchers are advancing large language models (LLMs) to tackle complex physics reasoning, from high school problems to advanced simulations. Techniques like reinforcement learning with human-AI ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or two to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the universe.

Physicists explore science and how things work. Our students learn the physical concepts of the laws of nature and how these concepts answer questions and solve real problems. Earning a bachelor’s ...
