Let’s use AI to rethink education, instead of panicking about cheating

If we build and use AI effectively, we can create an education system where students are assessed on the quality and depth of their knowledge, rather than the content of an exam, says Okezue Bell ​If we build and use AI effectively, we can create an education system where students are assessed on the quality …

Physicists simulate interacting quasiparticles in ultracold quantum gas

In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in experiments how Fermi polarons — a special type of quasiparticle — can interact with each other. ​In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes …

New quantum effect demonstrated for the first time: Spinaron, a rugby in a ball pit

Experimental physicists have demonstrated a new quantum effect aptly named the ‘spinaron.’ In a meticulously controlled environment and using an advanced set of instruments, they managed to prove the unusual state a cobalt atom assumes on a copper surface. This revelation challenges the long-held Kondo effect — a theoretical concept developed in the 1960s, and …
