Transfer of math, physics, and communication skills into the entry-level photonics workforce, NSF Award 1432578, Sept 2014 – Aug 2019 Exploring factors that shape education & workplace training on ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

Instead of directly solving the time-consuming and complex many-body problem over and over again, researchers have created a mathematical shortcut, using a transformation into a special subspace. This ...

Artificial intelligence is sliding into physics classrooms so smoothly that it can feel like a harmless upgrade rather than a ...

(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 ...

Computer scientists established a new boundary on computationally verifiable knowledge. In doing so, they solved major open problems in quantum mechanics and pure mathematics. In 1935, Albert Einstein ...

The use and understanding of mathematics is a crucial component of the physical sciences. Much work has been done in physics education research and science education more broadly to determine ...
