By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

A culinarily challenged amplitudologist decided to bake some cookies. To his horror, he discovered that his baking sheet has spontaneously broken a Z2 symmetry: a formerly flat metal sheet, it would ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
