US scientist John Hopfield and British-Canadian researcher Geoffrey Hinton have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for creating the "building blocks of machine learning," the Royal Swedish Academy of ...

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the strange behavior of atoms and photons. Physicists have long suspected that ...

All three winners of today’s 2025 Nobel Prize in physics are faculty at the University of California. The Nobel Prize committee honored John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two pioneers of artificial intelligence — John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton — won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for helping create the building blocks of machine learning that is ...

A trio of professors in the U.S. won the Nobel Prize in physics for work that enabled the creation of macroscopic quantum systems, a foundation of quantum computers and other technology. John Clarke, ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive ...

For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse—in which the water flows into the device rather than out of it—work? Through a ...

STOCKHOLM — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for research on the weird world of sub-atomic quantum tunneling that advances the power of ...

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” With a sly grin that I’d soon come to recognize, Paul Ginsparg quoted Michael Corleone from The Godfather. Ginsparg, a physics professor at ...

From the time he was a child enthralled with science fiction, Aaron Fishbein knew he wanted to study physics. Now, as a student in UMass Lowell’s highly selective medical physics graduate program, ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
