Ring design could be used in telecom, medicine and more ...

So, the climate is getting warmer. Who cares? Climate change has a PR problem in America. For decades, we called it ‘global warming,’ an innocuous-sounding phrase invoking a gentle increase in ...

A hybrid vehicle for aerial and underwater travelFor his senior capstone project, Michael Awah designed a tethered hybrid vehicle capable of both aerial and underwater travel.

The software produces a map that breaks a park down into squares—the default is 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer—and predicts the likelihood there will be poaching activity in each square. “The challenge is ...

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought “holy grail” of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...

Since the project began in 2019, Werfel and the team, which includes Robert Wood, the Harry Lewis and Marlyn McGrath Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at SEAS, have developed new robotic ...

Capasso's research group announced the finding in 2012, but at that time, they had only demonstrated the coating on relatively smooth, flat surfaces like silicon. This fall, the group published a ...

The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard ...

In the past, scientists have used patch-clamp or metal electrodes inserted into mature brains to record electrical activity of single neurons with high resolution. Further breakthroughs in tissue-like ...

Metalenses have been used to image microscopic features of tissue and resolve details smaller than a wavelength of light. Now they are going bigger. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School ...
