I'm developing a wildfire risk model for the state of Utah that's informed by trends in climate that we can project into ...

These fish-inspired robots can synchronize their movements without any outside control. Based on the simple production and detection of LED light, the robotic collective exhibits complex ...

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 ...

Key Takeaways Squeaks from soft-on-rigid interfaces, like shoes on a smooth floor, are driven by opening slip pulses that rapidly detach and reattach the interface at near-supersonic speeds. The ...

Metamaterials — materials whose function is determined by structure, not composition — have been designed to bend light and sound, transform from soft to stiff, and even dampen seismic waves from ...

That transition changes many of the liquid’s properties, including its viscosity and opacity. Those properties can be tuned by changing the number, thickness and size of the capsules in the liquid.

Key Takeaways AI has advanced rapidly, making tools like speech recognition, autocomplete, and image search part of everyday life. The greatest potential lies in AI that augments human abilities, ...

If you’ve ever tried to kill an interloping cockroach, you’ve probably noticed two things: they’re fast and nearly invincible. While those features make roaches terrifying to most people, it’s a ...

Key Takeaways A Harvard team built a chip-scale lithium niobate UV light source that generates 120 times more power than previous approaches, paving the way for practical uses. They used a novel ...

“Our research shows that the solid-state battery could be fundamentally different from the commercial liquid electrolyte lithium-ion battery,” said Li. “By studying their fundamental thermodynamics, ...
