...Physics professor Charles M. Marcus said he believes that the many places for discussion in LISE serve as a catalyst for scientific progress...
Construction was finally completed earlier this month on the colossal Oxford Street building that houses the science of the very small. By attracting accomplished scientists like Yacoby and fostering collaboration between the sciences, administrators hope that LISE will bring Harvard to the forefront of nanotechnology research...
