As enrollment numbers for the introductory chemistry and physics courses reach around 600 students each this semester, the need to understand how students learn in STEM classes only becomes more ...

Researchers employ machine learning to more accurately model the boundary layer wind field of tropical cyclones. Conventional approaches to storm forecasting involve large numerical simulations run on ...

Don’t know your convolutional neural networks from your boosted decision trees? Symmetry is here to help. It’s time for some deep learning. Check out this list to pick up some new terminology—and ...

Two teams have shown how quantum approaches can solve problems faster than classical computers, bringing physics and computer science closer together. For Valeria Saggio to boot up the computer in her ...

I'll admit it, I'm a math guy. And recently, I've tried to express the emerging power of large language models (LLMs) in many aspects of life—including education. And it got me thinking: What if ...

In his years as a physics teacher, students often asked Mark Whalley why they had to learn the subject when most of them would never directly use it in their careers. Having never been satisfied with ...
