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 ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

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 ...

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 ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...

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 ...
