Skepticism vs. Convenience: Physics Students' Perceptions and Use of Large Language Models Before and After Instruction
Jake O'Brien, Margaret Ellis, Alma Robinson +2
The recent emergence of large language models (LLMs) has produced research focusing on the ability of these tools to solve physics problems, evaluate student work, or otherwise imp…
Stability and Observability of Magnetic Primordial Black Hole-Neutron Star Collisions
John Estes, Michael Kavic, Steven L. Liebling +2
The collision of a primordial black hole with a neutron star results in the black hole eventually consuming the entire neutron star. However, if the black hole is magnetically char…
Quantum Gravity and Phenomenology: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Vacuum Selection, Emergent Spacetime, and Wormholes
Per Berglund, De-Chang Dai, Douglas Edmonds +9
We discuss the relevance of quantum gravity to the frontier questions in high energy phenomenology: the problems of dark matter, dark energy, and vacuum selection as well as the pr…
A sensitive search for wormholes
John H. Simonetti, Michael J. Kavic, Djordje Minic +2
The realm of strong classical gravity and perhaps even quantum gravity are waiting to be explored. In this letter we consider the recently detected triple system composed of two st…
Positive attitudinal shifts and a narrowing gender gap: Do expertlike attitudes correlate to higher learning gains for women in the physics classroom?
Alma Robinson, John H. Simonetti, Kasey Richardson +1
A large body of research shows that using interactive engagement pedagogy in the introductory physics classroom consistently results in significant student learning gains; however,…
Accessing the axion via compact object binaries
Michael Kavic, Steven L. Liebling, Matthew Lippert +1
Black holes in binaries with other compact objects can provide natural venues for indirect detection of axions or other ultralight fields. The superradiant instability associated w…
