Rayhaan Saaim and Edwin Dominguez were struggling to get the Harvard Undergraduate Automotive Society (HUAS) off the ground. Like a lot of Harvard’s student clubs, HUAS saw its membership greatly ...

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 ...

As adults, these large snakes are better known for their slow, lumbering gait, but the researchers discovered that young anacondas are much more spry — capable of a quick, one-off, skating movement ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard ...

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.

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 ...

When the capsules are round, they scatter light, making the liquid opaque, much like air bubbles make aerated water appear white. But when pressure is applied and the capsules collapse, they act like ...

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 ...

Harvard students enrolled in CS50, which teaches the fundamentals of computer programming for a range of languages, had some special help with their final projects this year — an AI chatbot called the ...
