A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds. Such computers need a specialized control ...

If you can't make it to campus, the IRT Open Virtual Computer Lab is a great alternative to help you stay connected to the essential tools you need for coursework: Most Sac State colleges have their ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...

New research shows that traditional physics labs, which strive to reinforce the concepts students learn in lecture courses, can actually have a negative impact on students. At the same time, ...

A new type of quantum computer has proven that it can reign supreme, too. “This is the first independent confirmation of Google’s claim that you really can achieve quantum supremacy,” says theoretical ...

With the new emphasis on hands-on, active learning throughout higher education, lab courses would seem to have an advantage -- what could be more active than doing experiments? But surprising new ...
