MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively four-dimensional “superspace,” rather than being fully described by the three ...

MIT Sloan School of Management researchers demonstrate a new approach to designing experiments in the social and behavioral ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

A new solid-state quantum sensor developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have debated one of the strangest mysteries in physics: Can two particles far apart somehow “talk” to each other instantly? Albert Einstein didn’t think so. He ...

MIT astronauts aboard the International Space Station—and the MIT researchers who have sent up experiments—have advanced our understanding of science, space, and the universe. On November 2, 2000, ...

Decades of weird experimental results appeared to support the existence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that ...
