The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

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 ...

Master the right-hand rule in physics with this easy-to-follow tutorial! In this video, we explain how to use the right-hand rule correctly to determine directions of magnetic fields, currents, and ...

Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

The groundwork for machine learning was laid down in the middle of last century. But increasingly powerful computers – harnessed to algorithms refined over the past decade – are driving an explosion ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...
