When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound. Take, for example, AlphaFold, the AI ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...

Teaching artificial intelligence to understand simple physics concepts, such as that one solid object can’t occupy the same space as another, could lead to more capable software that takes less ...

Both physical and economic phenomena may possess universal features that could be uncovered using the tools of physics. The principal difference is that in economic systems -- unlike physical ones -- ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...
