MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

Physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a revolutionary way to look inside an atom’s ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

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, ...

When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound.

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

Located only 56 million light-years away in Ursa Major, NGC 4102 gives astronomers a nearby target to study how these active ...

(A) Experimental design. (B) Behavior assessments using open field tests. Heatmaps illustrate time spent (red) and movement trajectories (green). The PD group exhibited decreased movement speed ...
