Researchers at Yale and Caltech have a bold new theory to explain how Earth transformed itself from a fiery, carbon-clouded ball of rocks into a planet capable of sustaining life.
The theory covers Earth’s earliest years and involves “weird” rocks that...
Michel Devoret, the F.W. Beinecke Professor of Applied Physics and Physics, is a co-recipient of the Micius Quantum Prize for his groundbreaking work in quantum physics — including key contributions in the development of the artificial atoms of quantum...
A new study suggests that a contributing factor in dementia may come down to a double dose of bad waste management in the brain.
A research team led by Yale, Stony Brook University, and the University of Rhode Island found that the body’s systems for...
Continents reconfigure, oceans shift, and ice sheets thicken and thaw, but for the past 95 million years Earth’s engine for distributing ocean heat has remained remarkably consistent.
That’s one of the findings of a new, Yale-led study that tracks the...
Researchers at Yale and the American Museum of Natural History have identified the earliest known relative of octopuses and vampire squid — and named it after the 46th president of the United States.
Syllipsimopodi bideni had 10 arms, fins, and rows of...
A new, Yale-led study unlocks the science behind a key ingredient — namely oxygen — in some of the world’s most violent volcanoes.
The research offers a new model for understanding the oxidation state of arc magmas, the lavas that form some volcanoes,...
The Dragonfly telescope is undergoing a metamorphosis.
For the past decade, the Dragonfly Telephoto Array — designed by Yale’s Pieter van Dokkum and the University of Toronto’s Roberto Abraham and located in New Mexico — has conducted groundbreaking...
A new study shows that one in three patients with a severe skin disease were able to regrow hair after being treated with a common arthritis drug.
The study is based on Phase 3 clinical trials using baricitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, to treat...
Malena Rice, a graduating Ph.D. student and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in the Department of Astronomy, has been named a 51 Pegasi b Fellow by the Heising-Simons Foundation.
The prestigious fellowship, which is named for the first...
