Jessica Fry, an MIT physics Ph.D. candidate in Lindley Winslow’s lab within the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 – Science list for her innovative work developing experimental devices to search for dark matter.
MIT astronauts aboard the International Space Station — and the MIT researchers who have sent up experiments — have advanced our understanding of science, space, and the universe.
An alternative to massive particle colliders, the approach could reveal insights into the universe’s starting ingredients.
If a new proposal by MIT physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence
of elusive Hawking radiation.
At MIT’s Formaggio Lab, Peña’s work may help researchers pinpoint the elusive particle’s mass—
and refine the fundamental laws of physics in the process.
Super-cooling radioactive atoms could produce a laser-like neutrino beam, offering a new way to study these ghostly particles — and possibly a new form of communication.
The sPHENIX detector is on track to reveal properties of primordial quark-gluon plasma.
