“By thinking about a problem, you can come up with a whole new way of solving it that might be much faster,” said Spielman, the...
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 all-female Afghanistan robotics team visited the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design (CEID) on Monday, where they met the three Yale students helping them prepare for this summer’s First Global, an international robotics contest.

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)...
As part of a class taught by Clare Lockhart, a senior fellow at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, five Yale graduate students developed a tool aimed at assessing security force assistance, which they then presented to a U.S. military team in May....
