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 ...

John Belcher, a space physicist who arrived at MIT 38 years ago and was instrumental in introducing the new teaching method nine years ago, was considered an outstanding lecturer. He won MIT's top ...

Researchers at MIT have developed two new control techniques that have enabled them to achieve a world-record single-qubit fidelity of 99.998 percent using a superconducting qubit called fluxonium.

A tomic clocks, which power GPS, online transactions, and data networks, just became more precise. MIT physicists have developed a technique that doubles the accuracy of optical atomic clocks by ...

In a first for science, researchers have figured out how to trap tiny electrons in a three-dimensional crystal prison, which might help them make superconductors. The crystal was synthesized by ...

Quantum physics and mechanics are transforming the energy industry through breakthroughs in energy harvesting, ...

Researchers at MIT found three of the oldest stars in the universe orbiting around the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, according to a study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...
