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 ...

Learn momentum conservation by building a Python model of elastic collisions! This tutorial guides you step-by-step through simulating elastic collisions, analyzing momentum transfer, and visualizing ...

Any Cornell student who has taken physics class may have wondered at some point: “what makes physics so difficult to understand?” While students may be asking this out of frustration, Prof. Paula ...

Explore how quadratic drag influences the motion of objects moving in a straight line. In this video, we break down the physics behind resistive forces that increase with the square of velocity, ...

Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

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 ...

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 ...
