    Intuition Helps Humans Beat Computers in Thorny Physics Game

    Computers may have us beat at chess and checkers, but new research suggests our brains still have an edge when it comes to solving certain tricky problems thanks to a very human trait: intuition. Scientists in Denmark have found that people who played a game that simulated a complex calculation in physics sometimes did better […]

    Attosecond physics: A switch for light-wave electronics

    Atoms in silicon dioxide are hit by the light wave, causing the electrons around each atom to oscillate. At the end of the cycle the absorbed energy is returned to the light wave. Recording the temporal evolution of the light field allows the first real-time observation of attosecond-scale electron motions within solids. Image: Christian Hackenberg […]

    AI learns and recreates Nobel-winning physics experiment

    ustralian physicists, possibly searching for a way to shorten the paintings week, have created an AI which could run and even enhance a complex physics test with little oversight. The studies ought to in the endpermit human scientists to focus on excessive–level troubles and studies design, leaving the nuts and bolts to a robotic lab […]
