It’s not often that a breakthrough in sustainable chemistry is influenced by a fan letter.
Yet that’s what happened for Yale chemist Hailiang Wang, whose lab creates small-molecule and nanomaterial catalysts that remove unwanted material from the...
It was always going to be a big lift, piecing together the story of how sauropods — the long-necked, lumbering giants of the dinosaur world — developed their remarkable, box-like heads.
But Yale paleontologists have done just that. They say their findings...
Mislav Baloković, a postdoctoral fellow at the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, has a prime viewing spot for the most famous black hole humans have ever seen.
That would be the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87, located 55 million light...
Researchers at Yale and Princeton say the scientific community sorely needs a new way to compare the cascading effects of ecosystem loss due to human-induced environmental change to major crises of the past.
For too long, scientists have relied upon...
Alison Sweeney has long suspected the best blueprints for innovation already exist in nature.
They’re encrypted in the iridescence of giant clams. They’re hidden in the eyes of mid-ocean squid. They’re inscribed on the surface patterns of pollen.
You just...
Sperm doesn’t shift into high gear in mammals just to show off, new research shows. It originally needed that extra speed to break the egg barrier.
Later on, evolution enabled sperm to use its souped-up swimming to navigate tricky reproductive pathways...
