So many fossils, so little time — to train people to identify them.
As scientists grapple with a vast backlog of marine fossils waiting for identification, an international group led by Yale has begun using machine-learning techniques to tackle the...
The mammal tree of life is a real leaner. Some branches are weighed down with thousands of species — we’re looking at you, rodents and bats — while others hold just a few species.
Now we may have a better idea why.
In a new study published in the journal...
There’s a new path out of the “food desert,” and it’s as close as the nearest Internet connection.
A Yale University analysis found that most people in “food deserts” in eight states would increase their access to healthy, nutritious food if they purchase...
Making methanol just got a lot easier, now that chemists at Yale have opened up a new electron highway.
The discovery, published online Nov. 27 in the journal Nature, finds a novel solution for two chemical tasks: producing methanol — a volatile, liquid...
Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest “comma” shrimp, a tiny crustacean shaped like its punctuation namesake.
The 90-million-year-old creature fills in a major evolutionary gap for a family of marine animals now found in abundance around the...
Yale astronomers have taken a new, close-up image of the interstellar comet 2l/Borisov.
2l/Borisov, first spotted this summer, continues to draw nearer to Earth and will reach its closest approach — about 190 million miles — in early December. Researchers...
A Yale-led group of doctors has developed a new mathematical model that can predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing a common heart procedure.
For patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known...
A new Yale study shows that some patients being treated for severe heart failure with a battery-operated pump saw significant improvement after additionally using neurohormonal blockade (NHB) drug therapy.
NHB therapy, which includes three broad...
Elisa Celis doesn’t see any reason why artificial intelligence (AI) can’t reflect a society’s best values, as well as its commercial interests.
It’s the idea at the heart of her efforts as a data scientist: Fairness and inclusion can be written into...
