Researchers compile dictionary of vocalizations suggesting the animals use equivalent of word compounds, phrasings to communicate complex social situations
Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences doctoral student Simon Chaput developed the crucial low-power electronics needed for haptic technology, known for its high energy demands.
Researchers have found that an injectable scaffold that incorporates tumor-specific peptides can be personalized, stimulating a patient’s immune system to destroy his or her unique cancer tumors.
One certainty about America’s coasts is that they will change in the coming decades as sea levels rise. Visiting Professor Steven Handel said landscape design, married with knowledge of native plants, can ensure that both human and natural needs are met.
Harvard researchers used high-speed video to not only quantify how fast the filaments in mountain laurel flowers move, but how they target likely pollinators.
Tyler Prize winner James McCarthy, a professor of biological oceanography and Alexander Agassiz Professor of Biological Oceanography in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, remains optimistic that climate change is a solvable problem.
Researchers believe outbursts by a nearby supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way have transformed Neptune-like planets into rocky planets.
Researchers combined a metalens with an artificial muscle to create an artificial eye that automatically stretches to simultaneously focus and correct astigmatism and image shift
First study of radiation exposure in human gut with Wyss Institute’s organ-on-a-chip device offers hope for better protective drugs for cancer patients receiving radiation therapy.
For advanced technologies across the University, a new entrepreneur-in-residence program launched by Harvard Office of Technology Development might offer a crucial bridge to commercial development.
Economist Edward Glaeser says the global spread of urbanization can elevate humankind, but in his edX course he warns that we need creative thinking to ward off the drawbacks of high-density living.
After creating a 3-D language called quon, which could be used to understand concepts related to quantum information theory, Harvard mathematicians now say the language offers tantalizing hints that it could offer insight into a host of other areas in mathematics, from algebra to Fourier analysis, and in theoretical physics from statistical physics to string theory.
A Harvard team has created the milliDelta robot, which can operate with high speed, force, and micrometer precision, making it ideal for retinal microsurgeries performed on the human eye.
Though vineyards might be able to counteract some effects of climate change by planting lesser-known grape varieties, scientists and vintners need a better understanding of the wide diversity of grapes and their adaptions.
Harvard researchers have created the next generation of flat lenses, developing a “metalens” that can focus all the colors of the spectrum at the same time. The new design opens up the field for wearable optic devices.
A nine-member team of scientists, mostly from Harvard, has discovered that the hydraulic resistance to moving sugar-rich sap downward from the leaves of tall trees does not increase with the length of the tree as much as would be expected.
For the first time, researchers have enabled the design of complex single-stranded DNA and RNA origami that can autonomously fold into diverse, stable, user-defined structures, with the potential for precision drug delivery.
A new Harvard study shows people who end up in the hospital due to an opioid-related condition are four times more likely to die now than they were in 2000.
