Pablo Jarillo-Herrero wins Wolf Prize for groundbreaking work on twistronics
Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics Pablo Jarillo-Herrero was awarded the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics for his experimental contributions to breakthrough developments in twisted bilayer graphene research, which uncovered…
Is there dark matter at the center of the Milky Way?
MIT physicists are reigniting the possibility, which they previously had snuffed out, that a bright burst of gamma rays at the center of our galaxy may be the result of…
