The Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the largest division of the University, is dedicated to being
at the forefront of teaching and learning and fostering cutting edge research and discovery.

Science

Physics Professor Markus Greiner and his team have created an antiferromagnet, an exotic form of matter that can give important insights into how room temperature superconductors might be created.

Figuring out superconductors

June 1, 2017

From the moment when physicists discovered superconductors — materials that conduct electricity without resistance at extremely low temperatures — they wondered whether they might be able to develop materials that exhibit the same properties at warmer temperatures.

A concentration’s first growth spurt

May 24, 2017

As Harvard’s Theater, Dance & Media (TDM) concentration turns 2 this spring, it graduates its first concentrators, a milestone for a nascent department that its caretakers describe as adventurous and enthusiastic as it finds its footing. Read more about A concentration’s first growth spurt
