“A new technique lets researchers make hundreds of nanowires, capable of recording intracellular signals, at the same time Machines are getting cozy with our cells. Embeddable sensors record how and when neurons fire; electrodes spark heart cells to beat or …
“In the Harvard Microrobotics Lab, on a late afternoon in August, decades of research culminated in a moment of stress as the tiny, groundbreaking RoboBee made its first solo flight. Graduate student Elizabeth Farrell Helbling, PhD ‘19, and postdoctoral fellow …
“Programmable kirigami metamaterials enable responsive surfaces and smart skins Bad news for ophiophobes: Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new and improved snake-inspired soft robot that is faster and …
“Event Horizon Telescope researchers reveal first-ever image of a black hole A global team of astronomers, led by Harvard scientists, have for the first time captured an image of a black hole. The image, revealed today by researchers from the …
“Soft digital logic emulates the thought process of an electronic computer and the feel of a human hand A soft robot, attached to a balloon and submerged in a transparent column of water, dives and surfaces, then dives and surfaces …
“Mechanical systems, such as engines and motors, rely on two principal types of motions of stiff components: linear motion, which involves an object moving from one point to another in a straight line; and rotational motion, which involves an object …
“Research opens doors in photonic quantum information processing, optical signal processing and microwave photonics. Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new integrated photonics platform that can store light and …
“Biocompatible sensor could be used in diagnostics, therapeutics, human-computer interfaces, and virtual reality Children born prematurely often develop neuromotor and cognitive developmental disabilities. The best way to reduce the impacts of those disabilities is to catch them early through a …
“New “HAMR-E” robots could enable inspection of complex machines without dismantling them Jet engines can have up to 25,000 individual parts, making regular maintenance a tedious task that can take over a month per engine. Many components are …
“Researchers challenge conventional thinking with Jell-O comparison Adam Cohen, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology and of physics, is the lead author of a new study that challenges conventional theories about the fluid nature of cell membranes and how …
