My new plan in introductory physics is to require students to demonstrate some ability to create a numerical calculation. Just to be clear, by "numerical calculation" - I mean to solve a problem by ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Pat Hanrahan, who studied nuclear engineering and biophysics before becoming a founding employee of Pixar Animation Studios. As well as ...

Physicists have used machine learning to teach a computer how to predict the outcomes of quantum experiments. The results could prove to be essential for testing future quantum computers. Physics ...

Quantum computers use qubits, which are based on quantum physics, allowing them to solve complex problems far faster than ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...
