The CHASE is on to develop a new generation of liquid fuels that are activated by sunlight, and Yale researchers are helping to lead the way.
Over the past decade, basic research aimed at creating sustainable, solar-powered liquid fuel has reached a...
Virtual reality can transport people, through headsets and joysticks, into immersive, imaginary worlds where they can explore alien planets, battle zombies, or even play minigolf.
But Yale anthropologist Lisa Messeri isn’t so much interested in the...
The technology behind amphibious robotics, marine observation devices, and other water-based innovations has progressed dramatically in recent years. Finding research facilities that can keep up with these advances, though, has proved tricky.
To that end...
Humans and animals are incredibly adept when it comes to adapting to their environments. For example, when humans step on ice, it only takes a few shuffles of our feet for us to learn to glide. Instilling similar adaptive abilities in robots, though, has...
