A nifty move with nitrogen has brought the world one step closer to creating a range of useful products — from dyes to pharmaceuticals — out of thin air.
The discovery comes from a team of Yale chemists who found a way to combine atmospheric nitrogen with...
Yale physicists have developed an error-correcting cat — a new device that combines the Schrödinger’s cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum...
Sarecycline, a drug approved for use in the United States in 2018, is the first new antibiotic approved to treat acne in more than 40 years. Now, researchers at Yale and the University of Illinois-Chicago have discovered how its unique chemical structure...
At the heart of photosynthesis, the process by which plants and certain microorganisms produce Earth’s oxygen, there is a monumental act of thievery.
An enigmatic enzyme known as Photosystem II steals electrons from water, uses them as fuel, and leaves in...
Yale will play a major role in a new, national center for quantum research announced Aug. 26 by the White House and the United States Department of Energy.
The new Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), led by Brookhaven National Laboratory,...
Why people perceive motion in some static images has mystified not only those who view these optical illusions but neuroscientists who have tried to explain the phenomenon. Now Yale neuroscientists have found some answers in the eyes of flies, they report...
Three Yale researchers are among 30 pairs of scientists awarded grants to study the molecular origins of neurodegenerative diseases, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announced Aug. 19.
The $4.5 million initiative is designed to foster collaborations between...
Holding a thought in mind is one of the human brain’s most remarkable tricks. Now researchers will take a closer look at how our brains evolved to accomplish this feat, thanks to a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to an international team of...
