For the first time, astronomers have observed a cosmic boomerang effect — streams of heavy, molecular gas that are stripped away from a distant galaxy only to circle back and return later.
Astronomers at Yale and Arizona State University led the research...
A new Yale study suggests that aerosols in the atmosphere may be temporarily holding down ocean temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, are an indication that the surprisingly modest...
This month, Insights & Outcomes marvels at the inner workings of membraneless organelles, the organization of the human brain during adolescence, and a new imaging technique to help understand memory loss in HIV patients.
As always, you can find more...
