The largest survey ever conducted among physicists worldwide reveals surprisingly little agreement on some of the field’s ...

A physics theory that's proven useful to predict the crowd behavior of molecules and fruit flies also seems to work in a very different context—a basketball court. A model based on density functional ...

Large language models have already transformed software engineering, for better or worse. Now, so-called large physics models are also starting to transform design engineering. These tools are ...

Right now, the world’s best weather forecast model is a General Circulation Model, or GCM, put together by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A GCM is in part based on code that ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

The Standard Model of particle physics is at a pivotal moment in its history: it is both at the height of its success and on the verge of being surpassed Centuries after the search began for the ...
