In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

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 ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

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 ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, low-cost particle detector that tracks muons, invisible particles that ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
