Il Nobel per la Fisica 2016 premia gli aspetti esotici - quantistici - della materia. Una bella trasmissione radiofonica - Radio Anch'io (RAI 1) - aiuta a districarsi nelle difficoltà di questo settore intervistando fra gli altri Guido Tonelli, Eugenio Coccia, Pietro Roversi, Giorgio Parisi. Con un dibattito molto interessante su cosa significa fare ricerca in Italia oggi, le difficoltà dei nostri ricercatori e le carenze della nostra governance.
This year, Artificial Intelligence played a leading role in the Nobel Prizes for Physics and Chemistry. More specifically, it would be better to say machine learning and neural networks, thanks to whose development we now have systems ranging from image recognition to generative AI like Chat-GPT. In this article, Chiara Sabelli tells the story of the research that led physicist and biologist John J. Hopfield and computer scientist and neuroscientist Geoffrey Hinton to lay the foundations of current machine learning.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John J. Hopfield, an American physicist and biologist from Princeton University, and to Geoffrey Hinton, a British computer scientist and neuroscientist from the University of Toronto, for utilizing tools from statistical physics in the development of methods underlying today's powerful machine learning technologies.
