Scientists found that transfer learning can make the search for new physics in the universe much faster, slashing the need ...

Artificial intelligence is already revolutionizing scientific and cosmological exploration. In a recent research breakthrough ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

We see countless stars and galaxies sparkling in the universe today, but how much matter is actually there? The question is simple enough — its answer, however, is turning out to be quite a ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN assistant editor Ananya Palivela about recent advances in quantum computing. Ananya and Craig talk about the results of ...

Large language models have already transformed software engineering, for better or worse. Now, so-called large physics models are also starting to transform design engineering. These tools are ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

For scientists, supernovae are true superstars — massive explosions of huge, dying stars that shine light on the shape and fate of the universe. For a brief burst of time, supernovae can radiate more ...
