A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early ...

The research team, led by Nuh Gedik, Donner Professor of Physics at MIT, explored how light could influence the magnetic properties of FePS3, a material that becomes antiferromagnetic at ...

The sPHENIX detector is the latest experiment at RHIC. It is designed to record the products of high-speed collisions between heavy ions. From this debris, scientists aim to reconstruct the properties ...

At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—and refine the fundamental laws ...

Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes the limits of modern optics through nanophotonics, the manipulation of ...

A new light-based method lets tiny quantum dots release perfectly controlled photons, opening doors to faster and cheaper ...

When all available quantum states are full, atoms can’t scatter light, thanks to the Pauli exclusion principle, new experiments show.

Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise.
