Wildebeest carcasses, casualties of the world’s largest overland animal migration, pile up annually on the banks of the Mara River in Africa and play a crucial role in vibrant ecosystem of the Serengeti plains, a new Yale-led study has found.
During a stroke or organ transplant, patients can suffer an injury due to lack of blood supply to vital organs. The injury — known as ischemia reperfusion — can cause damage to tissues. But a new Yale-led study has identified a previously unknown...
Genes that aid in reproductive success also make people more prone to heart attacks, say scientists — a finding that will surprise few parents. Authors from several schools, including Yale, say their genomic analysis suggests natural selection has...
The transfer and storage of energy during photosynthesis is considered one of the world’s great marvels, and a new study has identified natural design principles within the process that could improve energy efficiency in new solar technology.In...
Yale researchers have identified 60 potential new “hot Jupiters” — highly irradiated worlds that glow like coals on a barbecue grill and are found orbiting only 1% of Sun-like stars.
Hot Jupiters constitute a class of gas giant planets located so close...
A new drug can restore memories and connections between brain cells in mice with a model of Alzheimer’s disease, a new Yale-led study suggests.
“The drug completely erased evidence of Alzheimer’s synapse damage and memory loss in mouse models of the...
New nanoscopy technology reveals interior of the cells with more clarity for longer periods than ever before, Yale researchers report in the July 3 issue of the journal Nature Biotechnology. Yale's Derek Toomre and Alanna Schepartz explain how the...
Helen Caines has spent much of her professional life immersed in cosmic soup.
While other physicists have chased gravitational waves, cultivated qubits, and mused about dark matter, Caines has focused squarely on the thick glop of particles that...
