Local high school students learned about the many factors involved in choosing a college recently at an event sponsored by STEM Mentors, a Yale University graduate and professional student group that works to get high schools students excited about STEM (...
Students in “Introduction to Engineering Innovation & Design” course spend half a semester putting their new engineering skills to work for other members of the Yale community. This team partnered with the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural...
Yale graduate student Amy Giuliano knows that the experience of studying abroad can be transformative, but she is also aware that the cost of travel can make that impossible for some students. So she has designed virtual reality educational tours of some...
Lots of problems have already been solved. They just don’t always have the best solution, said Yale professor Daniel Spielman.

Engineered nanomaterials hold great promise for medicine, electronics, water treatment, and other fields. But when the materials are designed without critical information about environmental impacts at the start of the process, their long-term effects...
Yale physicists have uncovered hints of a time crystal — a form of matter that “ticks” when exposed to an electromagnetic pulse — in the last place they expected: a crystal you might find in a child’s toy.
The discovery means there are now new puzzles to...
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a new form of matter.
PROSPECT, located at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)...
Yale’s next wave of quantum computing research will get a boost from a $16 million grant from the U.S. Army Research Office.
The four-year grant will help fund the work of dozens of faculty members, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers...
