...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’s interesting about surface plasmons is that they enable electromagnetic energy to be concentrated into tiny volumes that are only tens of nanometers across, so it will enable you to generate tiny intense spots of light that are far smaller than...
...comedic works are distinctly British and distinctly Victorian. But even beyond their spatial and temporal remoteness, the pieces tend to play themselves out in a bizarre alternate world, where identities are often mistaken and endings rarely make sense.The history of the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players (HRG&SP) has often unfolded in a manner as quirky and topsy-turvy as the comedies themselves.

Lurtz ’07 said it is “impossible to imagine” the Agassiz Theatre without Symonds’ presence.“Many of us are still struggling to believe that he won’t be there in the fall...
Symonds had been dedicated to HRG&SP since an undergraduate himself, Lurtz said, light-designing many of the shows they put on during his years at Harvard and becoming their adviser when he returned as a member of staff after his graduation...
