Amid high expectations for quantum technology, a new paper in Science reports a proven quantum advantage. In an experiment, ...

MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

MIT’s SCIGEN and Samsung’s PaRS embed physics into AI, helping LLMs propose exotic, feasible materials for quantum, energy, ...

Scientists then defined the “edge” of this gaseous material by introducing a laser, which formed a wall around the atoms. Once atoms encountered this light, they flowed in just one direction—much like ...

Scientists are making significant progress in quantum physics, developing new ways to study quantum phenomena that could lead to virtually limitless energy and revolutionize computing.

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – there’s the classical physics we’re used to on our scale, and the spooky world of quantum physics on the atomic scale.

The latest web celeb is a physics professor. Professor Walter Lewin, who teaches an introductory physics course at MIT, has become an internet celebrity thank to his outrageous antics, daredevil ...

An MIT device that makes the world's most precise rulers--with "ticks" only a few hundred billionths of a meter apart--could impact fields from the manufacture of computer chips to space physics. An ...

Rainer Weiss just wanted to know he wasn’t completely out of touch. After flunking out of MIT, the young physicist went searching for affirmation when he stumbled into a technician’s job at the ...

We all know that water evaporates when the temperature climbs, but researchers have just shown that there's another factor at play. The breakthrough could solve long-standing atmospheric mysteries and ...

While teaching large physics lectures at MIT, Walter H. G. Lewin radiates enthusiasm. "And now, I’m going to blow your mind," said Lewin before giving a lesson about electrical circuits that seem to ...

Rainer Weiss just wanted to know he wasn’t completely out of touch. After flunking out of MIT, the young physicist went searching for affirmation when he stumbled into a technician’s job at the ...
