Vibe physics,” inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s “vibe coding,” refers to researchers providing high-level direction and intuition via plain English prompts, all while the AI handles the technical heavy ...

It's near the start of a new semester of physics. Many faculty are working on their plans for introductory physics courses. How many tests should there be? What about homework? Do I want to cover ...

I love including numerical calculations in my introductory and advanced physics courses. I find that including coding in the introductory physics course forces students to think in different ways to ...

Physics these days wouldn’t succeed without software. Whether those lines of code are used to control new apparatus, make sense of fresh experimental data or simulate physical phenomena based on the ...

This summer, seven young coding whizzes contributed to CERN projects through the Google Summer of Code program. Anyone in the world with a computer can contribute to research at CERN. Through the ...

During a recent visit to Beijing, Jensen Huang—CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, now the world’s most valuable company—was asked a deceptively simple question by a journalist: “If you were a 22-year-old ...

In the worlds of high performance computing (HPC) and physics, seemingly straightforward challenges are frequently not what they seem at first glance. For example, doing justice to an outwardly simple ...

Claude’s performance in an experiment by a Harvard professor shows that AI models are beginning to reshape scientific ...
