Heat Sensor for Living Cells

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 Bioengineers Develop Soft, Flexible Neural Implants to Understand Brain Development and Behavior

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a tadpole embryo’s brain and record electrical activity with no impact on normal tadpole embryo development or behavior. This novel device could help researchers better understand and treat diseases that manifest in early brain development.
