A calculation so complex that it takes 20 years to complete on a powerful desktop computer can now be done in one hour on a regular laptop. Physicist Andreas Ekström at Chalmers University of ...

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 ...

Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, nuclear physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson ...

Throughout the semester, our department invites the graduate students to participate in a problem solving competition. One problem will be offered per round of competition, and we will have a few ...

The merging of real and virtual worlds into a so-called mixed-reality environment can help students successfully complete problem-solving tasks. Mixed reality—a hybrid of augmented and virtual reality ...

As large language models improve, the real challenge is not how to shield education from AI, but how to embrace AI as a cornerstone of future physics learning and teaching. If AI openly competed in a ...

Physicist Kun Chen studies the unexpected behavior of many interacting electrons in solids by developing methodologies originating in other areas of physics. When he was in graduate school, Kun Chen ...
