The understanding of the origin of superconductivity in cuprates has been hindered by the apparent diversity of intertwining electronic orders in these materials...
The genome revolution has created unprecedented opportunities to study human biology, evolution, and disease, and is making it possible to carry out unprecedented studies in the microbial pathogens that affect humans....
Although the effects of kinetics on crystal growth are well understood, the role of substrate curvature is not yet established...
Electrical signaling plays a fundamental role in biology: our neurons communicate with little electrical blips, our heart is paced by an electrical wave, and every cell in our body powers part of its metabolism from electrical energy in mitochondria...
Prof. Subir Sachdev delivered the 2014 Salam Distinguished Lecture titled "Theory of Quantum Matter: from Quantum Fields to Strings" at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics.
Join us as Harvard celebrates the venerable history of one of the country’s great physics programs. In exciting faculty symposia, we'll assess discoveries past, present, and potential, and we'll examine the ways in which physics — the most fundamental science — has become increasingly multidisciplinary, with graduate students working in biology, chemistry, and engineering labs across Harvard.
This year's Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize has been awarded to Prof. Philip Kim "for his discoveries of unconventional electronic properties of graphene".
Colloidal crystals are promising structures for photonic applications requiring dynamic control over optical properties...
