Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences built a device called a pico-calorimeter that directly measures heat signals from small groups of living cells. The device could lead to advances in bacterial growth monitoring or antibiotic resistance testing.

Harvard University has expanded a research alliance agreement with Northpond Labs to fund translational research, accelerate commercialization, and advance breakthrough healthcare innovations across Harvard labs at the Wyss Institute, Harvard Medical School, John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

For the first time, researchers at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences demonstrated a single quantum of vibrational energy interacting with a single atomic spin, seeding a pathway to quantum technologies that use sound.

Within Harvard's Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering, an entrepreneurial ecosystem has emerged, fostering industry collaborations and the launch of three startups to advance quantum computing and networking.
