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 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, ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their recent work, published in Physical ...

MIT researchers have developed a robotic laboratory that can independently assemble and align optics experiments. In a demonstration, the robot built a working laser cavity in about 30 minutes and ...
