Anna Marie Pyle, Michel Devoret, and Samuel...
Yale is where Amymarie Bartholomew learned to love the lab. Now she gets to pass that feeling forward — while pursuing new science in a lab of her own.
Bartholomew, an assistant professor of chemistry in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, officially...
Yale and the University of Connecticut will use a $1 million planning grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to formally propose Connecticut as a regional hub for quantum-related research, technologies, and jobs.
Over the next five years, Yale geophysicist Jun Korenaga will be part of a scientific project funded by NASA to study the origin and early development of the Earth’s moon.
The ambitious project, known as the Center for Lunar Origin and Evolution (CLOE),...
Pinpointing when exactly animals first appeared on Earth is a bit like finding a needle in a very old, planet-sized haystack — but a new study has narrowed the search a bit.
Estimates for the arrival of Earth’s first animals — tiny, soft-bodied marine...
On a foggy, Friday night recently, with old hip hop songs filling the air and hundreds of happy people taking in the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, a small quantum forest sprouted up on the New Haven Green.
Dozens of illuminated beacons, each...
“Strange metal,” that rogue phenomenon of the electrical realm, just became a little less enigmatic.
Identified more than 40 years ago, strange metal is a state of matter found in many quantum materials — including certain superconductors that scientists...
Researchers at Yale and the Southwest Research Institute may have discovered the secret to Venus’s youthful appearance: a high-energy, rejuvenating boost it received in its earliest years.
For decades, the relatively unblemished surface of Venus has...
