Yale has established a new leadership position to oversee information technology systems, underscoring the key role they play in the university’s mission of education, research, scholarship, preservation, and practice, as well as the value to campus...
The crusty conundrum carries fundamental implications. The thickness of continental crust — the part of Earth’s crust that forms land masses and continents — plays an important role in everything from the gradual movement of continents to the evolution of...
At the heart of every resonator — be it a cello, a gravitational wave detector, or the antenna in your cell phone — there is a beautiful bit of mathematics that has been heretofore unacknowledged.
Yale physicists Jack Harris and Nicholas Read know this...
Climate models may be significantly underestimating how extreme precipitation will become in response to a rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, a new Yale-led study finds.
It all comes down to raindrop physics, researchers Ryan Li and Joshua...
Yale astrophysicists have helped assemble an unprecedented census of the most powerful, growing supermassive black holes in the universe.
Using data from NASA’s Swift satellite and a collection of ground-based telescopes — including the ESO Very Large...
The story of women in astronomy is not simply a tale of the planets they’ve discovered and the black holes they’ve mapped. It is a history filled with persistence and personal triumphs.
“The Sky is for Everyone,” a new book published by Princeton...
Researchers discovered what may be a new approach for creating neuropsychiatric drugs, using a virtual library of compounds derived from chemistry developed by a Yale laboratory.
The new drug candidates they’ve identified through this process could lead...
An extinct reptile’s oddly shaped chompers, fingers, and ear bones may tell us quite a bit about the resilience of life on Earth, according to a new study.
In fact, paleontologists at Yale, Sam Houston State University, and the University of the...
Those massive, swirling radar images shown on TV during hurricane season may have an unexpected analog in the deepest reaches of the cosmos — extrasolar storms of dust and gas from which nascent planets begin to form.
Both storms — terrestrial and...
Dinosaurs — and birds — wouldn’t have been able to stand on their own two feet without some radical changes to their upper thigh bones. Now, a new study by Yale paleontologists charts the evolutionary course of these leggy alterations.
The findings...
