Get ready to breakdown the most egregious perpetrator of jargon warfare in all of science: the title of an academic paper. Each episode, we will sit down with a researcher from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and talk about a recent paper, with the one and only goal of understanding the title.

    30/06/2016

    Evidence of a first-order phase transition to metallic hydrogen

    We may have glimpsed liquid hydrogen abruptly changing into metallic hydrogen, which is the same stuff in the core of Jupiter.

  8. Functional network inference of the suprachiasmatic nucleus

    09/06/2016

    Functional network inference of the suprachiasmatic nucleus

    A slightly sloppy, first attempt to explain how neurons in the region of the brain that controls circadian rhythms talk to each other.

  9. Metalenses at visible wavelengths: Diffraction-limited focusing and subwavelength resolution imaging

    02/06/2016

    Metalenses at visible wavelengths: Diffraction-limited focusing and subwavelength resolution imaging

    A flat lens that works in visible light and can focus light as small as nature allows.

  10. Broadband and chiral binary dielectric meta-holograms

    23/05/2016

    Broadband and chiral binary dielectric meta-holograms

    A very small hologram that can be used across all different wavelengths of light and can be programmed with different images based on the direction of light that works because it's made from a material that doesn't absorb certain light and has other properties not found in nature.
