Amazon immersion fosters partnerships, offers students, researchers hard look at threats to economic security, environment of rainforest as Earth warms
Harvard Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Kang-Kuen Ni and colleagues have combined two atoms for the first time into what researchers call a dipolar molecule.
Evolutionary biologist Athena Aktipis of Arizona State University delivered a lecture titled “Why Cancer is Everywhere” at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
In a recently published study, Harvard Kennedy School Professor Matthew Baum and Northeastern University Professor David Lazer, an associate of the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science, argue that a multidisciplinary effort is needed to understand better how the Internet spreads content and how citizens process the news and information they consume.
Biologist E.O. Wilson suggests conserving half of the Earth to save species. He and former National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis discuss how to do that.
The Wyss Institute and Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences announced Novartis will have access to commercially develop their therapeutic, biomaterial-based cancer vaccine technology.
New Harvard findings show that a mixture of cyanide and copper, when irradiated with UV light, could have helped form the building blocks of life on early Earth.
Harvard has established a licensing agreement with HoliStick Medical to allow commercial development of a specialized catheter device that can repair holes in the heart, or tissue defects in other organs, using deployable soft structures.
The Wyss Institute is developing a new type of coating for catalytic converters that, inspired by the nanoscale structure of a butterfly’s wing, can dramatically reduce the cost and improve the performance of air-purification technologies, making them more accessible.
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences Marine Denolle is one of several co-authors of a study that used computer-learning algorithms to identify small earthquakes buried in seismic noise.
Public lands owned and managed by the federal government are not a land grab, as some activists claim, but rather the result of a practice that goes back to the nation’s founding, a former Interior Department official says.
Wyss Institute researchers have developed a new super-strong hydrogel adhesive that can stick to dynamically moving tissues — such as a beating heart — even in the presence of blood.
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.
