Key takeaways Hydrocephalus is a life-threatening condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid collects in the brain. The condition is usually treated through surgical implantation of brain shunts, ...

Key takeaways An interference pattern that emerges from three stacked and twisted layers of graphene, called a supermoiré pattern, can uncover hidden properties of simpler moiré materials. SEAS ...

Key takeaways A team at Harvard and Vienna University of Technology have invented a new tunable laser that uses a series of rings to smoothly emit many light wavelengths from a single chip. The laser ...

WHERE THERE’S FIRE, THERE’S SMOKE Controlled burns and vegetation thinning are common methods used to reduce the severity of potential wildfires, and land management tools already existed when Chung ...

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 ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a machine learning framework that can predict with quantum-level accuracy how materials ...

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 ...

Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers unveiled the world’s first visible-spectrum metasurfaces – ultra-thin, flat devices patterned with nanoscale structures that could precisely control the behavior ...

In the Harvard Move Lab, mannequins don jackets decorated with electronics and hanging wires. Design drawings are scattered on workbenches, and sewing machines sit among fabric-filled cubbies labeled ...

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 ...
