Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their foundational work in artificial intelligence. Hinton, known as the godfather of AI, is a dual citizen of Canada and Britain, ...

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for discoveries and inventions that formed the building blocks of machine learning. “This year’s two Nobel Laureates ...

Artificial neural networks mimic human brains, but the technology has its roots in physics. Thom Leach/Science Photo Library via Getty Images If your jaw dropped as you watched the latest AI-generated ...

Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just to crunch through basic simulations. Now a new “physics shortcut” is ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

In developing drugs using a platform that joins physics with machine learning, Schrödinger sees more than a passing resemblance to the studio whose Toy Story and other computer-generated movies ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

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 ...
