In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

Artificial intelligence is often used to generate images. In research, specialized AI models are used for scientific applications—for example, to predict the positions of atoms in materials. The ...

Physicists have long known that black holes do not necessarily have to form from collapsing stars. Under the right conditions, spacetime itself can organize into a delicate, highly ordered state that ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

From writing emails to generating computer code, much of the artificial intelligence prevalent in our daily lives has succeeded by mastering one domain: text. However, this leaves a major blind spot ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

China’s grip on global supply chains is turbocharging efforts to find alternatives to the small group of metals that dominate EV motor technology An employee working on an AEM motor at the company's ...

We work on challenging machine learning problems and design cutting-edge algorithms for both real-world applications and fundamental science problems. In particular, we are interested in deep learning ...

In middle and high school, group work can quickly go off the rails. Discussions meant to deepen understanding drift off-topic or become dominated by a few voices. Instead of spreading the thinking ...

Earlier in my career, I consistently assigned what many of us think of as traditional math homework: a worksheet with 20 similar problems or a textbook page full of several repetitive problems. This ...
