The work on excitons, originating from ultrathin materials, could impact future electronics and establishes a new way to study these particles through a powerful instrument at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Thomas Varnish has always loved a hands-on approach to science. Research in lab-based astrophysics has enabled the PhD student to experiment in a heavily theoretical subject.
The work could lead to ultra-efficient electronics and more.
For the MIT Visiting Artist Chloé Bensahel, fabric itself tells the story.
Thin flakes of graphite can be tuned to exhibit three important properties.
MIT researchers show how topology can help create magnetism at higher temperatures.
The ultrasmall “switch” could be easily scaled.
Investigating the solar wind flowing past Earth, the MIT professor has found solitary waves that might arise within fusion devices.
MIT undergraduate researchers Helena Merker, Harry Heiberger, and Linh Nguyen, and PhD student Tongtong Liu, exploit machine-learning techniques to determine the magnetic structure of materials.
Researchers create a method for magnetically programming materials to make cubes that are very picky about what they connect with, enabling more-scalable self-assembly.
By studying the dynamics of plasma turbulence, MIT researchers are helping to solve one of the mysteries of the origins of cosmological magnetic fields.
An MIT team incorporates AI to facilitate the detection of an intriguing materials phenomenon that can lead to electronics without energy dissipation.
MIT PhD student Rachel Bielajew is taking on plasma turbulence, and helping make a better world — through science and community action.
New image of M87 reveals how it looks in polarized light.
Simulations rule out plasmas caused by meteoroid impacts as the source of lunar magnetism, supporting the proposal that the ancient moon generated a core dynamo.
