Harvard Law Suspends Library Access After Student Study-In Escalates Contract Dispute

Harvard Law School temporarily suspended student access to Langdell Library after about 40 students staged a silent “study-in” on Friday in support of the school’s clinical instructors, according to The Harvard Crimson. The protest underscored a widening labor dispute at one of the world’s most prominent legal institutions, where students are increasingly pressing the university to reach a contract agreement with instructors who teach and supervise clinical work central to the law school’s curriculum.

Harvard Endowment Surges 27% to Record $68 Billion, Powered by SpaceX and AI Bets

Harvard University’s endowment climbed 27% in fiscal 2026 to a record $68 billion, marking one of the strongest annual performances among major U.S. university funds. The gain was driven by outsized returns from private investments, including SpaceX, and a broader portfolio that benefited from exposure to artificial intelligence and other high-growth assets.

Harvard Anthropologist Turns Critic on His Own Discipline

A Harvard anthropologist is drawing attention for publicly challenging the assumptions and habits of his own field, a move that has sharpened an already long-running debate over anthropology’s methods, authority, and political commitments. The critique lands at a moment when elite academia is under pressure to justify its relevance, rigor, and public value.

Harvard Scientists Detect First Radio Signal From a Planet Beyond the Solar System

Astronomers have reported the first-ever detection of radio emissions traced directly to an exoplanet, a breakthrough that could open a new way to study distant worlds and their magnetic environments. The signal, identified by Harvard researchers and highlighted across major science outlets, is being framed not as evidence of alien life but as a historic step in understanding how planets outside our solar system behave.

Netflix's 'Unabomber' turns Ted Kaczynski into a weakly drawn villain origin story

Janus Metz Pedersen's Netflix film revisits Ted Kaczynski's life through two timelines — his teenage years at Harvard and the FBI's late-1990s hunt for the bomber — but the result is a sluggish, uneven drama that struggles to justify its own premise. Despite strong turns from Jacob Tremblay, Russell Crowe and Shailene Woodley, the film is said to lose track of its central subject by trying to force a real-life figure into a fictional villain template.

Scientists Say the Best Worlds for Life May Orbit Far Closer to Their Stars Than Earth Does

A growing body of astrobiology research is challenging the long-held assumption that Earth is the ideal template for life. In a recent discussion highlighted by Avi Loeb, scientists argue that some exoplanets may be more hospitable than Earth because they sit in more stable, energy-rich environments around their stars. The debate matters far beyond astronomy, reshaping how researchers think about habitability, planetary resilience, and the search for life elsewhere in the universe.

James Webb’s ‘Little Red Dots’ Ignite a New Debate Over the Early Universe

Astronomers are rethinking what the James Webb Space Telescope’s compact, crimson objects may be, after fresh analyses sharpen the mystery around the so-called “little red dots.” The leading explanations now range from unusually dense, rapidly growing black holes to star-packed systems shaped by frequent early-universe collisions, with no consensus yet on which model best fits the data.

James Webb’s “Little Red Dots” May Be Feeding Black Holes Faster Than Expected

Astronomers are rethinking one of the James Webb Space Telescope’s most puzzling discoveries: compact, crimson objects nicknamed “Little Red Dots” that may be powered by rapidly growing black holes rather than ordinary young galaxies. The emerging interpretation could reshape understanding of how the earliest massive black holes assembled so quickly after the Big Bang, with implications for galaxy formation and the physics of the early universe.

James Webb Data Suggest Little Red Dots May Be Feeding Black Holes

New James Webb Space Telescope observations are sharpening one of astronomy’s most intriguing puzzles: the tiny, crimson “Little Red Dots” seen in the early universe may not be ordinary galaxies at all, but compact systems powered by rapidly growing black holes. The finding, if confirmed, could help explain how some black holes assembled extraordinary mass so soon after the Big Bang.
