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 ...

In the past, scientists have used patch-clamp or metal electrodes inserted into mature brains to record electrical activity of single neurons with high resolution. Further breakthroughs in tissue-like ...

A hybrid vehicle for aerial and underwater travelFor his senior capstone project, Michael Awah designed a tethered hybrid vehicle capable of both aerial and underwater travel.

Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) offers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs that span from ...

As adults, these large snakes are better known for their slow, lumbering gait, but the researchers discovered that young ...

If you’ve ever played the claw game at an arcade, you know how hard it is to grab and hold onto objects using robotics grippers. Imagine how much more nerve-wracking that game would be if, instead of ...

Since the project began in 2019, Werfel and the team, which includes Robert Wood, the Harry Lewis and Marlyn McGrath Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at SEAS, have developed new robotic ...

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times — more ...

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 ...

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...

More than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggested, according to new research from Harvard University, in collaboration with the ...

Fish can accumulate high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), even far from sources of contamination, according to a new study by researchers at The Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...
