John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton received the Nobel Prize in physics on Oct. 8, 2024, for their research on machine learning algorithms and neural networks that help computers learn. Their work ...

Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their contributions to machine learning. Their research, which draws from statistical physics, helped ...

Statistical models and approximations occupy a central role in modern polymer physics by providing a rigorous framework for analysing the complex behaviours of polymers. Fundamental approaches, such ...

Statistical physicists attempted to explain the brain’s functionality using Excitation-Inhibition balance similarly to magnetic models, yet the theory was experimentally disproven and now, a decade ...
