Quantum devices detect minute variations in gravity, magnetism, and time. They’re transforming how researchers study the ...

In conventional lasers, mirrors are essential to bounce light back and forth, stimulating coherent emission from excited atoms or molecules, and thus light amplification.

Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of ...

What color is an atom? Since atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, we can’t see them directly - but they ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...
