FILTER RESULTS ►Microscopic crystal 'flowers' build themselves in a Harvard lab
Imagine peering into a microscope and finding yourself in a garden. That's the case at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, where researchers have found a way to shape microscopic crystals into complex and often beautiful structures. Inspired by coral reefs, sea …
Change in cycle track policy needed to boost ridership, public health
Boston, MA – Bicycle engineering guidelines often used by state regulators to design bicycle facilities need to be overhauled to reflect current cyclists' preferences and safety data, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers. Show More Summary
Insect-like flying robot developed by Harvard researchers
Researchers at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed an insect-like robot that achieves flight by flapping a pair of tiny wings. The robot is small enough to sit on the tip of a finger and weighs 80 milligrams -- that's roughly 1/30th the weight of a U.S. Show More Summary
Inexpensive Tactile Sensing Technology Leads To Robots With A Gentler Touch
What use is a hand without nerves, that can't tell what it's holding? A hand that lifts a can of soda to your lips, but inadvertently tips or crushes it in the process? Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences...Show More Summary
Harvard Lab Shows off New Robot Touch Sensors
A research team working at Harvard University's Biorobotics Laboratory, a part of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences,
has developed a new and less expensive tactile sensor for robots. This sensor, which is in the cost range for people without a research budget, may open up robotics research. The sensor is sensitive enough to allow a robot hand to pick up a baloon.

New Design Technique Could Enable Personalized Medicine, Studies Of Brain Wiring
Borrowing from microfabrication techniques used in the semiconductor industry, MIT and Harvard Medical School (HMS) engineers have developed a simple and inexpensive way to create three-dimensional brain tissues in a lab dish. The new...Show More Summary
Pre-Shaped Injectable Jelly for Drug Delivery and Tissue Support
Bioengineers at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have come up with a compressible gel-based sponge which can be delivered into the human body via injection. The material can be made into any shape and loaded with drugs or stem cells, before being compressed and injected. Show More Summary
Jelly-like atmospheric particles resist chemical aging
Cambridge, Mass. - October 16, 2012 - Atmospheric chemists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have found that when it comes to secondary organic material in the atmosphere, there are two distinct breeds: liquids and jellies. read more
Harvard Team Create Extremely Stretchy Gel To Replace Damaged Cartilage In Joints
A team from Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have managed to create an extremely tough gel that is capable of being stretched to 21 times its length. It is hoped that the gel, known as hydrogel, will be able to be used in replacing damaged cartilage in human joints. Read the rest of [...]

Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences kicks off it's third season of their trailblazing and highly popular public lecture series on Cooking and Science this Tuesday, September 4 at 7:00 p.m. The course, pairing...Show More Summary
Harvard Team Develops an Ultrathin, Flat Lens That Is Only 60 Nanometers Thick
A team of applied physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has managed to create an ultrathin, flat lens that is only a mere 60 nanometers thick. Despite being so thin, and being close to the ultimate physical limit set by the laws of diffraction, the lens is able to focus light without [...]
Paper-Thin, Distortion-Free Lenses Could Make Pint-Sized Pro Cameras Possible [Guts]
Using an ultrathin wafer of silicon and gold to focus lightwaves, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have created a revolutionary new kind of camera lens that completely eliminates the image distortion created by traditional glass lenses. Show More Summary
Harvard makes distortion-free lens from gold and silicon, aims for the perfect image (or signal)
Imaging has been defined by glass lenses for centuries, and even fiber optics haven't entirely escaped the material's clutch. Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences might have just found a way to buck those old (and not-so-old) traditions. Show More Summary
Flat lens offers a perfect image
Cambridge, Mass. – August 23, 2012 – Applied physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created an ultrathin, flat lens that focuses light without imparting the distortions of conventional lenses. At...Show More Summary
CO2 emissions – China is the big hockey stick in the room

Atmospheric scientists release first 'bottom-up' estimates of China's CO2 emissions
Cambridge, Mass. - July 6, 2012 - Atmospheric scientists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Nanjing University have produced the first "bottom-up" estimates of China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for 2005 to 2009, and the first statistically rigorous estimates of the uncertainties surrounding China's CO2 emissions. read more
New fuel cell keeps on going even once the fuel's dried up
Vanadium oxide seems to be the go-to guy in power storage right now. A new solid-oxide fuel cell -- developed at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences -- that can also store energy like a battery, also uses the stuff. In the new cell, by adding a VOx layer it allows the SOFC to both generate and store power. Show More Summary
