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 ...

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 ...

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 study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges the gap between quantum and classical physics. The work demonstrates that mathematical ideas from classical ...

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

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, ...
