Congratulations to our recipients of Spring & Fall 2021 Certificates of Distinction and Excellence in Teaching (Q Awards)!

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) and the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE) give teaching awards to lecturers and preceptors, graduate student TFs and TAs, and undergraduate CAs. These awards are based on an overall score of 4.50 or higher with a minimum of 5 evaluations on the Q section evaluations.

The Bok Center hosts receptions...

Hyungmok Son, a recent Harvard Physics Ph.D graduate, and his colleague at Harvard-MIT Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) have developed a new approach to control the outcome of chemical reactions at the quantum level. Traditionally, chemical reactions are controlled with temperature and chemical catalysts, but more recently, with external electromagnetic fields. For instance, researchers of Doyle group at Harvard University suppressed reactive collisions between CaF molecules by applying microwaves.

In the new study by Son et al., an external magnetic field was used to...
