WAAAAAYYY back when I was in middle school physics they had some programs on our school computer that let you build simple machines. We basically built Rube Goldberg machines in the simulator to test ...

Explore the simple machines behind Buffalo’s grain elevators and the physics that power them. Buffalo’s grain elevators changed the world! In this episode of Compact Science we uncover how a local ...

A machine learning algorithm designed to teach computers how to recognize photos, speech patterns, and hand-written digits has now been applied to a vastly different set of data: identifying phase ...

Discusses the principles of levers, a type of simple machine that helps lift heavy loads by changing the direction or magnitude of force applied. It explains how the position of the fulcrum affects ...

Machine learning may be the tool de jour for everything from particle physics to recreating the human voice, but it’s not exactly the easiest field to get into. Despite the complexities of video ...
