The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

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, ...

Claudio Neves Valente’s academic career foundered, while his one-time classmate, Nuno Loureiro, flourished as a physics professor at MIT.

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

This is the first article in a two-part series discussing innovative teaching techniques in college physics classes. Today's installment will focus on interactive programs instated at other ...

Authorities in New England are investigating the brutal assassination of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology nuclear science and physics professor who was gunned down in his own home, Us Weekly ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

Entanglement is a form of correlation between quantum objects, such as particles at the atomic scale. This uniquely quantum phenomenon cannot be explained by the laws of classical physics, yet it is ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...
