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 ...

When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound. Take, for example, AlphaFold, the AI ...

Physicists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can autonomously design theoretical physics models, a task traditionally carried out by human ...

Over the past decade or so, foundation models have emerged as the dominant paradigm for interacting with language, images, and code. Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate text. Vision models can ...

For decades, simulation has been the cornerstone of scientific discovery and hardware design. But despite the advances we’ve made in computing power and tooling, the way we run simulations hasn’t ...

On the same day IEEE Spectrum reported that General Motors had compressed two weeks of aerodynamics analysis into a matter of minutes using AI trained on simulation data, the broader field that made ...
