The magic of the unexpected
William G. Kaelin Jr., the Sidney Farber Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, is one of three winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discovering how cells sense and adapt to changes in oxygen availability, a process critical for survival.

A leap for ‘artificial leaf’
Using an electro-chemical process to etch materials, Harvard scientists have developed a system of patterning that works in just minutes, as opposed to the weeks needed for other techniques. Researchers can build photonic structures that control the light hitting the device and greatly increase its efficiency.

Robots with lift
Using small explosions produced by a mix of methane and oxygen, researchers at Harvard have designed a soft robot that can leap as much as a foot in the air. That ability to jump could one day prove critical in allowing the robots to avoid obstacles during search and rescue operations.

Stages of superconductivity
Harvard physicists say they have unlocked the chemical secret that controls the “fool’s gold” of superconductivity, a “pseudogap” phase that mimics, but doesn’t have all the advantageous properties of, superconductivity.
