Loureiro studied the behavior of plasma and worked to explain the physics behind astronomical phenomena such as solar flares.

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Police have intensified their search for a suspect in the killing of Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro.

Nuno F.G. Loureiro was a "brilliant" physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was shot and killed ...

A team of Australian and international scientists has, for the first time, created a full picture of how errors unfold over time inside a quantum computer—a breakthrough that could help make future ...

GROUP DYNAMICS. It seems axiomatic that groups have a life of their own andthat they influence the individuals within them, and vice versa. But that idea, along with the very phrase "group dynamics," ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule. This ...
