July 3, 2026 Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

The inevitable leakage of energy and information from a quantum system into its surrounding environment is the enemy of quantum technology. Now, researchers have demonstrated that it can be exploited ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

As we scour and scorch the Earth for deeper wells of energy, investors and government agencies are pouring billions into nuclear fusion research. The hope is that fusion may ultimately provide a ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...

Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example nuclear ...

With performance three times better than copper’s, this new material could substantially improve heat management of electronics, data centers and energy systems ...

Precision shapes modern life in ways often taken for granted. Navigation systems guide travel, medical scans reveal hidden illness, and satellites map the planet in real time.

There is no clear evidence that AI or other kinds of computer-based tutors are superior to human tutors. Over the past decade ...

Over the past decade, the AI-focused, for-profit Alpha School has grown from one campus in Austin, Texas, to a growing list ...

In the 1890s, MIT alumnae weren’t expected to have meaningful careers. The women of the Class of 1894 proved that assumption ...
