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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
