Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of our everyday lives, from digital assistants to robots that respond to their surroundings. Each of these capabilities is based on physical computational processes that consume energy.

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow researchers to test whether journeys to the future or the ...

Physics professor and graduate dean Tabbetha Dobbins earned APS Fellow status for research, mentorship and national STEM leadership.

Weather forecasting is another aspect of modern life that artificial intelligence is transforming. Models like GraphCast, Pangu-Weather, and Fuxi are already better than traditional physics-based climate models at predicting some daily weather conditions.

Cambridge researchers have built and experimentally validated the first complete physical simulation of the Evaporative Light Scattering Detector, tracing droplets from atomization through evaporation
