Replacing Hype About Artificial Intelligence with Accurate Measurements of Success
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

A new paper in Nature Machine Intelligence notes that journal articles reporting how well machine learning models solve certain kinds of equations are often overly optimistic. The researchers suggest two rules for reporting results and systemic changes to encourage clarity and accuracy in reporting.

A Model of Holographic Dark Energy Is No Longer Unstable
Scientific Project Lomonosov

Scientists at BFU named after Kant Immanuel, doctor of Physics and Mathematics Artyom V. Astashenok and Alexander S. Tepliakov have proved the viability of a holographic dark energy model. Such model was considered unstable and therefore wasn’t widely used for describing the acceleration in the expansion of the Universe. The results of the research have been published in the Physics Letters B magazine.

Simulating a Critical Point in Quark Gluon Fluid
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists are conducting experiments in search of a critical point in the Quantum Chromodynamics phase diagram. The main signatures of this point involve changes in the number of particles produced in heavy ion collisions. Modeling these observables requires an extension of the standard fluid dynamic framework

What Role Does a Tailwind Play in Cycling’s ‘Everesting’?
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

Within the cycling realm, “to Everest” involves riding up and down the same mountain until your ascents total the elevation of Mt. Everest. A new record was set a few years ago, but a debate ensued about the strong tailwind the cyclist had on climbs. To what extent do the tailwind help a cyclist as they climb?
