Since Sept. 1, Harvard has overseen the implementation of a major new interdisciplinary research initiative in the field of nano and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) which could potentially be used to detect biological toxins in air or water. Affiliated with Harvard Medical School, the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences within Harvard College, and the physics department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the new program, called the Harvard Center for Microfluidic and Plasmonic Systems, will investigate a new type of NEMS/MEMS system based on metallic nanostructures that support particles known as surface plasmons (SP). “What?...
