The technology behind amphibious robotics, marine observation devices, and other water-based innovations has progressed dramatically in recent years. Finding research facilities that can keep up with these advances, though, has proved tricky.
To that end...
The CHASE is on to develop a new generation of liquid fuels that are activated by sunlight, and Yale researchers are helping to lead the way.
Over the past decade, basic research aimed at creating sustainable, solar-powered liquid fuel has reached a...
As the planet’s most expansive ecosystem, the deep sea can be a tough place to find a mate. Though, scientists say, some deep-sea anglerfishes evolved a unique method of reproduction that ensures that once they land a partner in the vast open waters, they...
