Nancy De Haro Castañón, S.B. '13, built a human heart from household supplies, and that was it – she wanted to be an engineer. The project was part of MESA (“Mathematics, Engineering, Science, ...

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 ...

Josefina Biernacki, SB ‘26, was named among the winners of this year’s Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) Outstanding Student Designer Award at the recent IEEE International Solid‑State Circuits Conference ...

Optical frequency combs — laser sources that emit evenly spaced colors of light — are foundational, ubiquitous tools for precision measurement, found in optical clocks, gas-sensing spectrometers, and ...

Rotational multimaterial printing offers intricate, programmable shapes Key Takeaways Harvard engineers have developed a new 3D printing method for building soft robots that bend and change shape in ...

As a next step, Lewis’ team will test whether the engineered collecting duct network can integrate with nephron-rich features. In the meantime, these duct models are of interest for understanding ...

Key Takeaways A simple set of physical rules, including the relative thickness and faster growth of the brain’s outer cortex compared to its softer interior, explains how brains get their folds. Over ...

Key Takeaways Harvard researchers have created a soft, wearable robotic device that provides personalized movement assistance for individuals with upper-limb impairment, such as stroke and ALS ...

Harvard SEAS researchers have demonstrated that they can grow green algae inside shelters made out of bioplastics in Mars-like conditions. The experiments are a first step toward designing sustainable ...

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 ...
