Voltage emergency prediction: Signature-based approach to reducing voltage emergencies

To reduce the gap between nominal and worst-case operating voltages, Harvard researchers have developed a “voltage emergency predictor” that identifies when emergencies are imminent and prevents their occurrence. A voltage emergency predictor…

Technology to Detect Hardware Trojans, Maliciously Embedded into ICs

One of the greatest threats to security are Trojans - rougue modifications to ICs that create a latent security risk. This theat, which is very much an unspoken threat, is of great importance to chip manufacturers, software companies and systems…

Eliminating the bottleneck in WiFi networks: New protocol delivers order-of-magnitude increase in performance

Have you ever been to a very busy coffee shop, hotel lobby or conference and been unable to access WiFi? Wi-Fi networks based on the 802.11 set of standards are pervasive, but have a fundamental performance bottleneck that limits the practical…

Low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that are highly scalable and cost effective

A series of new Harvard technologies enables operation of SOFCs at low temperatures (300 deg. C to 600 deg. C). Operation at these temperatures (vs. the current ~1000 deg. C) is a sought-after goal of the fuel cell industry – because it will…

High-flux, low-power diamond nanowire single-photon source arrays: an enabling material for optical and quantum computing and cryptography

The novel approach taken by the Harvard researchers was to apply top-down nanofabrication techniques to define large arrays of vertically oriented nanowire antennas in a single-crystal diamond substrate. Briefly, structures were made from a…
