Today’s optical devices are thus limited by the inherent properties of conventional crystals, making it difficult to build ...

This property is known as “multistability,” and we see numerous examples of it in everyday life, from electronics to cars. Fabrics, however, are normally not multistable – when you stretch them, they ...

I'm developing a wildfire risk model for the state of Utah that's informed by trends in climate that we can project into future scenarios, and I'm trying to suss out what features are most important ...

Harvard University researchers have made the first entirely 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip with integrated sensing. Built by a fully automated, digital manufacturing procedure, the 3D-printed ...

A new study by Earth scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) offers an explanation for one of Earth’s great climate puzzles: how the Sturtian ...

“This research gives us a simple way to predict how soft filaments will respond to twisting and stretching,” said Charles. “Going forward, our work might also be relevant in other situations involving ...

Unlike 3D printing, which gets slower as features get smaller, FRJS can quickly spin fibers at the single micron scale – or about fifty times smaller than a single human hair. This is important when ...

Rotational multimaterial printing offers intricate, programmable shapes Key Takeaways Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing method for building soft robots that bend and change shape in ...

These states, called “dressed” because they are “wearing” a continuous acoustic field, are less sensitive to the low‑frequency noise in the environment. Because spin coherence is protected here by a ...

Key Takeaways Harvard researchers have created a soft, wearable robotic device that provides personalized movement assistance for individuals with upper-limb impairment, such as stroke and ALS ...

As extreme heatwaves ravage the United States, Europe and Africa, killing thousands, scientists warn that the worst is still to come. With countries continuing to pump greenhouse gasses into the ...

Bringing AI to IVF Fertility care in the U.S. today is largely expensive and inaccessible, but Paxton Maeder-York’s company Alife Health is using artificial intelligence to help improve outcomes and ...
