Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But ...

A century-long debate in physics concludes as MIT's experiment confirms quantum entanglement, proving Einstein wrong. The study demonstrates that quantum particles instantaneously influence each other ...

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 ...

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 ...

The decades-old dream of many scientists and science fiction writers may come true at some point over the next decade. Researchers at MIT and a startup spun out of MIT are working on a nuclear fusion ...

MIT physicists improved the stability of optical atomic clocks by reducing “quantum noise” — a fundamental measurement ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Two and a half years ago, MIT entered into a research agreement with startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems to develop a next-generation fusion research experiment, called SPARC, ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns ...

An MIT physics professor said it was completely normal that one of the hundreds of transformers failed a day after the Large Hadron Collider’s first test last week. According to a statement from CERN ...

Renowned experimental physicist, Nobel laureate and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Emeritus Rainer Weiss, passed away on Aug. 25 at the age of 92. Nergis Mavalvala, dean of the MIT ...

SPARC is planned to be the first experimental device ever to achieve a 'burning plasma' -- a self-sustaining fusion reaction in which different isotopes of the element hydrogen fuse together to form ...
