Yale and Rice University scientists have demonstrated molecular devices that act as reversible electronic switches, making it possible to build smaller computers that are less expensive. The vast improvements and reduced cost seen in computers and...
The answer to how RNA polymerase stays still and moves at the same time while beginning its job of copying DNA into RNA is, according to a Yale scientist: “scrunching.” Using x-ray crystallography, Professor Thomas Steitz, the Eugene Higgins Professor...
Michael J. Donoghue, an expert in biodiversity at Harvard University, has been named the G. Evelyn Hutchinson Professor in Yale’s burgeoning Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). Donoghue joins the department at a time of growth in areas...
The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies is hosting a symposium on Friday, November 12 to mark the 20th anniversary of a watershed climate report by the National Academy of Sciences that first identified the human contribution to global...
Yale scientists have received a $3 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to test triarchic instruction, a teaching method that focuses on children’s creative and practical strengths, rather than their academic skills. “When we expand the...
“Lonesome George,” the only remaining male of a subspecies of the giant Galapagos tortoise, may be turning up his nose at potential mates on nearby islands because the females most closely related to him are on an island 200 miles away, say Yale...
Computer storage capacity can be vastly increased using a molecular memory based on a single molecule, a research team from Yale and Rice Universities has discovered. The discovery attacks one of the major problems facing the microelectronics industry...

Science and art, two spheres that normally operate in isolation from one another, are coming together in a unique series of lectures at the Yale Art Gallery. The three-part series, “Scientists on Art,” features scientists from the Yale community who...
The Yale University Department of Physics will host the Gregory Breit Centennial Symposium from Friday, Oct. 29 through Saturday, Oct. 30, 1999 on the Yale campus. The schedule and locations are: Friday, Oct. 29, at Sloane Physics Laboratory, 217...
