Gallium nitride is a semiconductor used in a number of electronic devices. This study observes the growth of gallium nitride crystals at high temperatures, opening the way for further research into techniques to improve the quality and effectiveness of transistors.
Professor Robert Wood’s creations have been featured in an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, on two Discovery Channel series, and in Time Magazine. When you walk into his Harvard lab at 60 Oxford Street—a building beyond the boundary of most undergaduates’ travels—you find yourself amid the hustle and bustle of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs peering through microscopes at actuators, using lasers to create air frames, and tweaking mechanical wings and transistors.
Every subfield exists to serve its own purpose as well as to augment progress in other subfields. One of the newest embodiments of this mantra is Harvard’s very own Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS).
This behavior is comparable to that of actin-binding proteins in reconstituted filamentous actin. We show that the elasticity of neurofilament networks is entropic in origin and is consistent with a model for cross-linked semiflexible networks, which we use to quantify the cross-linking by divalent ions.
Olga Zverovich, ‘10 Harvard University, Department of Mathematics “Does P=NP?” is one of the biggest open questions in theoretical computer science. An important advance toward answering this question came in 1971, when Stephen Cook proved that a problem in NP—the Satisfiability Problem, or simply SAT—has the property that if this problem is “easy” (polynomial-time solvable), then all problems in NP [...]
