...hard at work on HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical System), raising real insects filled with electronic circuitry, which could be guided using GPS technology to specific targets via electrical impulses sent to their muscles. These half-bug, half-chip creations - DARPA calls them "insect cyborgs" - would be ideal for surveillance missions, the agency says in a brief description on its website...
...goals and an assist, while Bancroft and Simmons each notched two goals. Curtis led the team in shots, with 6, but was unable to convert any into points, facing a tough Dartmouth goalie who blocked 10 and only let in seven. Although the outcome of the game was not ideal for Harvard, the team still has high hopes for the remainder of the year. “I think that the end of the season and the future of Harvard lacrosse are really picking up,” Pais said. “We are learning every day and getting...

During the nineteenth century, Mass. Hall was used as dormitory, office, and administrative space. In the 1920s...
...liberal arts education. “I think in many ways when people think about engineering, they don’t always think about doing it in the Ivy League context,” she said. But, she said, Harvard, Yale and their peer schools are “ideal places to study engineering because you get to study in the context of a much broader liberal arts education.” The new school marks the second time Yale has attempted to establish a separate engineering school. In 1932, Yale created a School of Engineering, but between the 1960s...
...Singerman says. “There is a lot of room for people who don’t want to have two different areas of study but want to bring them together in a more cohesive way.”Foster agrees, noting that special concentrations are ideal for students who “want to look through more than one lens, and lenses that enhance what it is that they are investigating.” The trying process of successfully creating a concentration to focus on the intersection of two disciplines is a source of pride for special concentrators...
