The openness of the first two rooms stands in stark contrast to “The Heart Room,” which feels like moving through an artery in the human body. Walls of slashed curtain create a constrictive, almost ...

When a crack forms in the new material, the long spaghetti strands spread out the stress by sliding past each other, allowing more rubber to crystallize as it stretches, and overall making the ...

Key Takeaways Harvard engineers have built a chip-scale, twisted bilayer photonic crystal whose twist angle and spacing can be dynamically adjusted with a MEMS actuator to tune the chirality of light.

Why pursue a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics? The Applied Mathematics concentration consists of a broad undergraduate education in the mathematical sciences, especially in those subjects that ...

Students can register for courses that provide entrepreneurial experiences ranging from product design and user-experience to field-based startup development and pitches to venture capitalists.
