Whether racing cross country or teaching coding in rural schools, senior Billy Woltz relishes experimentation and creative thinking.
Physicists simulate critical “reheating” period that kickstarted the Big Bang in the universe’s first fractions of a second.
James Collins, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, and Richard Milner have won top prizes for their work.
Revamped version of MITx MOOC includes new modules on nuclear security, nuclear proliferation, and quantum engineering.
The X-ray-focusing lens used in the experiment is based on a design used in lighthouses for centuries.
New lens technique spots tiny dwarf galaxy in the first, super-energetic stages of star formation.
Studying a common material at room temperature, researchers bring quantum behavior “closer to our daily life.”
Ultrathin coating could protect 2D materials from corrosion, enabling their use in optics and electronics.
Scientists simulate early galaxy formation in a universe of dark matter that is ultralight, or “fuzzy,” rather than cold or warm.
MIT researchers discover why magnetism in certain materials is different in atomically thin layers and their bulk forms.
Revolutionizing video games with physics, Weaver has also influenced MIT students with lessons on design, virtual reality, storytelling, and games for social change.
MIT planetary scientists partner with computer scientists to find exoplanets.
Matthew Evans, Joseph Formaggio, Markus Klute, and Anne White are named MIT’s newest APS fellows for their contributions to physics.
Joseph Formaggio explains the discovery that the ghostly particle must be no more than 1 electronvolt, half as massive as previously thought.
