The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system's state changes when we tweak certain ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are fleeting cosmic fireworks, lasting mere milliseconds. Despite lasting only a fraction of a second, FRBs can outshine entire galaxies, but their origins remain largely ...

Engineers at MIT have taken a metal that usually trades strength for lightness and pushed it into an entirely new class, creating a 3D printable aluminum alloy that is reported to be roughly five ...

A team of engineers at MIT searching for sustainable ways to create hydrogen have found that mixing recycled aluminum soda cans, seawater and, surprisingly, coffee grounds creates a reaction that ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their recent work, published in Physical ...

The engineers believe they have discovered the recipe for running a sustainable hydrogen reactor, which they plan to test first in marine and underwater vehicles. The team of engineers found that when ...

But a human has about 20,000 genes that can affect each other in complex ways, so even knowing which groups of genes to target is an enormously complicated problem. Also, genes work together in ...

For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 years ago and has shown potential as an anticancer agent. The compound has ...
