In a new study, Yale researchers found that popular brands of cigarillos are flavored with high-intensity sweeteners, potentially reducing the aversive sensation of smoking and making cigarillos more palatable. The concern is that these sweeteners...
When you think of robotics, you likely think of something rigid, heavy, and built for a specific purpose. New “Robotic Skins” technology developed by Yale researchers flips that notion on its head, allowing users to animate the inanimate and turn everyday...
A study led by Yale researchers found significant improvements in the social skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) after a month of working with robots.
Modeling eye contact and other social behaviors, the robots guided the children of 12...
Addressing a centuries-old question, researchers have uncovered a key element to how glasses transition into very resilient states. This breakthrough could allow for more reliable ways to use glasses — metallic glasses in particular — in a wide range of...
The topics may be diverse, but plant evolution, computer chips and catalysts for solar power all found common ground at the Yale Science and Engineering Forum.
The event, which the Yale Quantum Institute hosted last week, has taken place annually since...
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.
With...
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...
Lots of problems have already been solved. They just don’t always have the best solution, said Yale professor Daniel Spielman.
“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...
