A new study has shown that physics problems can light up parts of the brain traditionally not associated with learning science. The discovery could help improve how the subject is actually taught ...

You’ve gotta love a book that follows “Chapter One: Matter” with “Chapter Two: Quantum Theory.” The Instant Egghead Guide: Physics by Brian Clegg and Scientific American does just that ...

Thought experiments can have some advantages over real experiments: they require no special equipment, are low-cost, can be ...

In The Physics Teacher, researchers explore the goal of culturally relevant pedagogy, which is to center students' cultural resources as a bridge to learning. It relies on a framework of ...

In today's podcast, Ilona talks with Tim Stelzer, a theoretical particle physicist and a research Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois. Over the past few years, Tim has ...

The book, titled The ABCs of Particle Physics by Lauren Biron and Chris Smith, takes a child (or maybe just an interested adult) along an adorably dorky rhyme-trip through some of the most ...

So then it's true? You can learn everything online for free? Well, I think you can get all of the physics content online for free—but you won't get the same thing as you get from going to college.

Meanwhile, physics departments that are members of the Problem-Based Learning in Astronomy and Physics project – led by the University of Leicester – are fostering PBL with support from the Higher ...

Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate ...
