MIT astronauts aboard the International Space Station — and the MIT researchers who have sent up experiments — have advanced our understanding of science, space, and the universe.
An alternative to massive particle colliders, the approach could reveal insights into the universe’s starting ingredients.
If a new proposal by MIT physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence
of elusive Hawking radiation.
At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—
and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process.
Super-cooling radioactive atoms could produce a laser-like neutrino beam, offering a new way to study these ghostly particles — and possibly a new form of communication.
The sPHENIX detector is on track to reveal properties of primordial quark-gluon plasma.
Gift from the Leinweber Foundation, in addition to a $5 million commitment from the School of Science, will drive discovery, collaboration, and the next generation of physics leaders.
