The search for extraterrestrial life is bound to lead one place — underwater. To prepare for this reality, scientists from Harvard and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are narrowing in on autonomous ocean-floor vehicles equipped with cutting edge cameras and sophisticated sensors that can wirelessly alert researchers hundreds of miles away when something of note happens. Pretty cool stuff? We’d say so.
David Latham of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is tasked with an incredible mission — overseeing the selection and study of planets that are viable candidates for life as captured by TESS (the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite). In this interview with the Harvard Gazette, Latham discusses everything from TESS’s ground-breaking camera technology to the conditions required to foster life as we do (or don’t) know it.
This new robotic exosuit developed by researchers at the Wyss Institute and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) could push the limits of human performance and lead to new wearable technologies for athletes and consumers.
