A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds. Such computers need a specialized control ...

If you can't make it to campus, the IRT Open Virtual Computer Lab is a great alternative to help you stay connected to the essential tools you need for coursework: Most Sac State colleges have their ...

New research shows that traditional physics labs, which strive to reinforce the concepts students learn in lecture courses, can actually have a negative impact on students. At the same time, ...

Four decades ago at Endicott House, an MIT professor convened a conference that launched quantum computing. Quantum computing as we know it got its start 40 years ago this spring at the first Physics ...

Adam Fortais explains how the “At-Home Lab Kit” allows undergraduate students at McMaster University to do physics experiments while sheltering in place. This post is part of a series on how the COVID ...

With the new emphasis on hands-on, active learning throughout higher education, lab courses would seem to have an advantage -- what could be more active than doing experiments? But surprising new ...
