MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Ship waves, the complex patterns generated as vessels displace water, remain a subject of significant scientific and engineering interest. Traditionally described by Kelvin’s theory of ship wakes, ...

Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...
