Carnegie Commits to GMT Construction
WASHINGTON, May 18, 2010 — At its annual meeting this month, the Carnegie Institution for Science board of trustees enthusiastically endorsed the construction of the proposed Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). The project will be the first in the next generation of astronomical observatories that will drive new scientific discoveries. The Carnegie board authorized Pres. Richard A. Meserve to state the institution’s commitment of $59.2 million for the design, construction and commissioning of the telescope to supple...
Long-Lost Lunar Reflector Located
SAN DIEGO, May 3, 2010 — A team of physicists has pinpointed the location of a long-lost light reflector left on the lunar surface by the Soviet Union nearly 40 years ago. Years of searching left many scientists afraid that the reflector would never be found. The Soviet...
Revealing Cell Membrane Mechanics
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 29, 2010 — Thanks to an interdisciplinary team of researchers, scientists now have a more complete understanding of one of the human body’s most vital structures, the red blood cell. Led by University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering...
HRL Designated Historical Laser Site
MALIBU, Calif., May 16, 2010 — HRL Laboratories LLC, formerly Hughes Research Laboratories, will be designated a Physics Historical Site by the American Physical Society (APS) as the location where the first working laser was demonstrated 50 years ago. HRL will be recognized...
Hubble Proves Cosmic Acceleration
LEIDEN, the Netherlands, April 5, 2010 — A group of astronomers led by Tim Schrabback of the Leiden Observatory conducted an intensive study of more than 446,000 galaxies, resulting in independent confirmation that the expansion of the universe is being accelerated by the mysterious...
Isolating hot spots enhances Raman results
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A new technique demonstrated by a Harvard group may provide environmental researchers, chemists and forensic investigators with a new tool to detect and identify trace molecules. The research combined the two separate concepts of...
Molecules Made Mini Lasers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 21, 2009 -- A new optical microscopy technique squeezes photons out of nonfluorescent molecules to provide 3-D images of living cells and tissues for applications in medical imaging and biological research.
Harvard Names CNS Interim Director
Jul 13, 2009 — Frans Spaepen, director of the Rowland Institute, is serving as interim director of Harvard University’s Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS). Spaepen began his new position July 1, upon completion of his term as interim dean of Harvard’s School of...
Seeing Machine for the Blind
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 14, 2009 – A visually challenged MIT poet has unveiled a “seeing machine” that allows some people who are blind or visually challenged to be able to see. Elizabeth Goldring, also an artist and a senior fellow at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies, began...
'Clutch' Stops Flagella
BLOOMINGTON, Inc., June 23, 2008 -- The flagellum -- a rotating, tail-like structure that makes a bacterium swim, is powered by a molecular engine at its base. But what makes it stop? Answer: It uses its clutch. A tiny but powerful engine that propels the bacterium Bacillus...
Laser THz Source Demo’d
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 19, 2008 -- A room-temperature electrically pumped semiconductor laser source of terahertz (THz) radiation, reportedly the first of its kind, has the potential to become a standard source and could support applications such as security screening and chemical...
Astro-Combing for Planets
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 8, 2008 -- The discovery of Earth-sized planets outside our solar system, or "exoplanets," has reportedly been made possible with a laser-measuring device that will advance the resolution of current planet-finding techniques. The new device, called an...
The Brain in Full Color
Dec 1, 2007 — Researchers from Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., have developed a technique that can be used to visualize neuron connections by genetically labeling neurons with multiple colors of fluorescent proteins. The method works much like...
Building a Nanostructure Array One Slice at a Time
Oct 1, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., have employed a nanoscale version of skiving — cutting a material into thin layers — to create large-area arrays of patterned metallic structures. By producing frequency-selective surfaces, the...
Harvard Nanotech Center Orders Plasma-Processing Tools from STS
Jul 11, 2007 — Surface Technology Systems plc (STS) announced that it has sold two plasma-processing systems to Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) tools will be...
Harvard Licenses Nano Patents
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 5, 2007 -- Harvard University's Office of Technology Development (OTD) has licensed more than 50 issued and pending patents of nano- and micro-scale molecular fabrication methods developed by Professor George Whitesides and the Whitesides Laboratory at Harvard...
NAS Names 72 New Members
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2007 -- Seventy-two new members and 18 foreign associates from 12 countries were elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in recognition of their achievements in original research. The elections were held during a business meeting today during the...
Silicon Nanowires Act as Nanoscale Avalanche Photodetectors
Jan 1, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., have synthesized PIN silicon nanowires with single-crystal structures and uniform diameters that demonstrate potential for use as avalanche photodetectors in integrated photonic systems. The...
Harvard Honors Rensselaer President Jackson
Jun 9, 2006 — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Shirley Ann Jackson was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree at Harvard University’s 355th commencement yesterday in Cambridge, Mass. She was also honored at commencements for the University of...
New Telescope's Mission: Find Aliens
HARVARD, Mass., April 12, 2006 -- A new optical telescope at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard yesterday pointed its giant mirror at the sky for the first time, officially starting its sole mission: to search for signs of alien life in the universe. The new optical SETI at...
Hybrid Nanowire Components Show Promise for Photonics
Feb 1, 2006 — To advance the development of ultrasmall nanowire-based photonic devices, a research team at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., has incorporated single CdS nanowires into lithographically defined photonic crystal and “racetrack” microresonator...
