	Harvard Gazette: Rowland Institute merges with Harvard
		Harvard and the Rowland Institute for Science, an interdisciplinary research institute in Cambridge, have negotiated a merger agreement, to become effective later this spring.
		Founded in 1981 as the "last experiment" of the accomplished scientist and entrepreneur Edwin H. Land, the Rowland Institute has developed a distinguished reputation for multi- and interdisciplinary research, especially in evolving areas at the junction of traditional fields such as physics and biology.
		The institute is intended to serve as an incubator for some of the most promising scientists of the future.

	Rowland Institute for Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rowland Institute for Science was founded by Edwin H. Land, founder of Polaroid Corporation, as a nonprofit basic research organization in 1980.
		The institute merged with Harvard University on July 1, 2002, and is now called Rowland Institute at Harvard.

	Harvard Gazette: Rowland Institute announces new junior fellows
		The Rowland Institute for Science, an interdisciplinary research institute in Cambridge that merged with Harvard in 2002,
		The fellows, and their research, include Kristen Lewis, teaching fellow in organismic and evolutionary biology in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (plant biochemistry and organismal interactions); Frank Vollmer, Rockefeller University (molecular analysis by micro-optical resonances); and Peer Fischer, Cornell University (chiroptical spectroscopy and chiral discrimination).
		The institute aims to eventually appoint a total of 10 fellows.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: FAS Acquires Local Science Institute
		In what some are calling a $100 million donation to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), the Harvard Corporation has voted to merge with the Rowland Institute for Science, an independent research institute based in Cambridge.
		“The Rowland center is known for its expertise in experimental science and thus this is an extraordinary opportunity for FAS and science in general,” said McKay Professor of Applied Physics Frans A. Spaepen, who will serve as the director of the new Rowland Institute at Harvard.
		Many FAS professors are already associated with the Institute, which is located on Land Boulevard in Kendall Square.

		The interdisciplinary research institute, located in a 110,000-square-foot facility on the Charles River, was founded by Polaroid creator Edwin H. Land '30, S.D. '57, to focus on experimental rather than theoretical science (see "A Scientific Windfall for the University?
		Among the changes he will oversee is the creation of a new postdoctoral fellowship program at the institute, to begin in the fall of 2003.
		With the resources of the soon-to-be renamed Rowland Institute at Harvard, FAS will "be able nimbly to support cross-disciplinary research," said Dean Jeremy R. Knowles.

		Chen and his colleagues at Rowland and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, however, report a step toward finer dopant control.
		By using an atom-deposition technique called molecular-beam epitaxy and by exploiting a tendency of indium atoms to bunch together, the researchers covered an entire chip with triangular arrays of exactly six indium atoms per patch of silicon 3 nm on a side.
		Moreover, other types of dopants such as antimony are also needed for making chips, but the team has yet to deposit antimony with as much finesse as the researchers have shown with indium.

		Date: 9 Nov 1997 23:23:41 GMT Organization: The Rowland Institute for Science Yesterday (8 Nov 1997) I posted an article in sci.electronics, "Re: Good Pink Noise Generator," reporting on the deficiencies of some widely-used pink-noise generators, and suggested some improvements.
		For example, I examined a circuit with which several users had expressed satisfaction, and with a SPICE simulation, found it to have errors of several dB.
		Low-frequency 1/f noise is useful for simulating electronic flicker- noise and VCO oscillator phase noise, as well as vibration testing.

	Physicists Bring Light to a Crawl - April, 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Experiments at the Rowland Institute for Science have slowed that speed 20 million times, essentially allowing light to travel along a typical suburban throughway without getting a speeding fine.
		The physics team -- led by Lene Vestergaard Hau, a researcher at Rowland and at Harvard University -- used a Bose-Einstein condensate to slow laser light down to 38 mph.
		Detailed in the Feb. 18 issue of Nature, the experiment sends a coupling beam through an ultracold cloud of sodium atoms, turning it into an electromagnetically induced transparent medium through which a pulsed probe beam can pass (without the coupling beam, the atoms would absorb the probe pulse).

		Although centre bosses said they had no mating problems so far with dogfish, the tope appear reluctant to reproduce and may need help.

		As the index of refraction of these materials gets higher, however, absorption increasingly takes its toll on the light beam.
		In an experiment at the Rowland Institute of Science, (Lene Vestergaard Hau, hau@rowland.org), physicists have used a BEC as the optical medium, but with the following important modification.
		They contrived a system of laser beams whose pattern of interference created an effect called electromagnetically induced transparency, allowing light to propagate unabsorbed but at greatly reduced speeds, in this case a factor of twenty million compared to the speed of light in vacuum; greater light-speed slow downs are expected, to as low as cm/sec.
