Local labs research tiny things making a big difference
From ants to atoms, the tiny-but-mighty research subjects can provide big breakthroughs.
Research in Boston University’s Traniello Laboratory studies animal societies, using primarily ants as models. Researchers focus on topics including brain function and evolution. James Traniello is a professor of biology who has studied ants for nearly 50 years.Microchip Technology, based in Arizona, has several facilities in Massachusetts. In Beverly, one focus is developing and manufacturing atomic clocks which are used in commercial, military and aerospace products. All devices that depend on GPS also depend on atomic clocks.
