The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy "ghost particle" detected to date, a new MIT ...

MIT physicists have proposed a way to make a super sci-fi-sounding device: a neutrino 'laser,' which could help us probe the mysteries of the Universe. Neutrinos are the most abundant particles that ...

The College of Natural Sciences welcomed more than a dozen new tenured and tenure-track faculty members in 2025.

Surprisingly, they found that only around 10% of a quake’s energy causes the physical shaking most people associate with ...

Abstract: The advances of deep learning (DL) techniques bring new opportunities to numerous intractable tasks in power systems (PSs). Nevertheless, the extension of the application of DL in the domain ...

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled ...

On January 14, 2025, a gravitational wave dubbed GW250114 reached Earth. Like its predecessor, GW150914, it came from a pair ...

Super-cooling radioactive atoms could create a laser-like neutrino beam, potentially opening a new avenue for studying these elusive particles and even enabling novel forms of communication. Every ...

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are famously elusive. But an unconventional trick could make a laser beam of the aloof particles.

Physicist who spearheaded the construction of the LIGO observatory to detect Einstein’s predicted ripples in space-time ...

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

MIT physicists captured images that revealed the behavior of heat as waves for the first time in rare states of matter, like ...
