Upon moving to Cambridge, geophysicist Xiyuan Bao often relied on navigation software to find his way through the unfamiliar network of roads. He realized the same technology could help him find something else: a solution to a mystery deep within the Earth.
Coastal erosion, worsened by climate change, is consuming West African communities on the Gulf of Guinea. A team led by the Salata Institute’s Emmanuel Akyeampong surveyed 450 residents on the mental health impacts of the destruction.
Blazars, or galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, act as anchor points in the sky. They shine brightly in telescope observations, but because they are so far away, they appear almost perfectly fixed.
The leading stem cell scientist calls the $46 million award “dream-come-true opportunity.”
New research from Erin Hecht’s Evolutionary Neuroscience Laboratory analyzes how human influence has shaped the canine brain to make dogs better communicators.
How did we cede control of our democracy to the machines, and can we get it back? These are the questions Jill Lepore, David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History, asks in her latest book.
The institute will bring together 39 researchers across fields including mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The technology, described in a new paper in Cell, could reshape how scientists investigate tissue function and disease.
Researchers in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology combined biophysics, structural biology, and simulation to solve a manufacturing question.
In a new milestone for stem cell research, Harvard neuroscientists have set a record for keeping alive lab-grown human brain “organoids” and proven that they mimic key developmental stages seen in living people.
Deep in the woods of Petersham, Mass., the Harvard Forest Summer Research Program in Ecology is cultivating a renewable resource — future generations of scientists.
