Ark Teacher Training wants to attract more physics graduates to support its mission of delivering better educational outcomes for children in disadvantaged communities. This article was updated on 5 ...

After Carl Wieman won the Nobel Prize for physics in 2001 for, as he puts it, “shining lasers on atoms” in a new way that gave experimental proof to a theory by Albert Einstein, Wieman decided to ...

For generations, teaching physics has been more about manipulating math problems than learning the basic principles that guide the discipline. That’s precisely why, according to a growing body of ...

The IOP’s Teacher Training Scholarship programme provides an attractive route into physics teaching for recent graduates as well as mid-career scientists and engineers working across a range of ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

Our universe is full of matter and energy, and how that matter and energy moves and interacts in space and time is the subject of physics. Physics teachers spend their days showing and explaining the ...

A shortage of high school physics teachers has led to teachers with little-to-no training taking over physics classrooms, reports show. This has led to additional stress and job dissatisfaction for ...

The sound a disc makes while soaring through the air is full of information about how fast the disc is flying and how quickly it spins. This inspired Kyle S. Dalton of Penn State University to combine ...

Math, specifically calculus, is a barrier to many natural sciences, technology and engineering fields. Physics, which is math-heavy, often proves similarly challenging to students who wish to pursue ...

Studying physics can be very useful—even when it comes to machine learning. A digital "super-brain" with built-in knowledge ...

More and more high school students are getting interested in physics, but schools are in a tough spot: It’s hard to find physics teachers, so they often tap teachers with little-to-no training in the ...
