A Yale-led research team has discovered a molecular “device” found in nature that harvests a particular sliver of the sunlight spectrum in order to convert it into chemical energy.
In a study led by Yale’s Gary Brudvig and Christopher Gisriel, and Donald...
Say cheese, Pandora.
An international team of astronomers, including researchers from Yale, has unveiled the latest deep field image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): an unprecedented look at the region of space known as Pandora’s Cluster,...
Three members of the Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences have received 2023 Sloan Research Fellowships, a prestigious award that recognizes early-career scientists and scholars who have potential to make important contributions to their field.
The three...
Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum today received the 2023 Jackson-Gwilt Medal from the UK-based Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) for his development of the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, an instrument that has achieved unprecedented success in the measurement...
Those massive, swirling radar images shown on TV during hurricane season may have an unexpected analog in the deepest reaches of the cosmos — extrasolar storms of dust and gas from which nascent planets begin to form.
Both storms — terrestrial and...
An extinct reptile’s oddly shaped chompers, fingers, and ear bones may tell us quite a bit about the resilience of life on Earth, according to a new study.
In fact, paleontologists at Yale, Sam Houston State University, and the University of the...
Caitlin Gainey and some of her Yale friends spent the summer in Europe hiking in the mountains, strolling through medieval villages — and searching for subatomic particle collisions that few humans have ever seen.
Gainey, a Yale College senior studying...
Yale astrophysicists have helped assemble an unprecedented census of the most powerful, growing supermassive black holes in the universe.
Using data from NASA’s Swift satellite and a collection of ground-based telescopes — including the ESO Very Large...
At the heart of energy conversion, electrons and protons move in an intricate, coordinated dance. Chemists at Yale and in Sweden say they may have learned the steps to a new, photo-chemical rhumba.
The discovery, published in the journal Science, could...
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, an international collaboration aimed at gathering direct images of black holes, has now set its sights close to home.
In a May 12 announcement, EHT researchers presented the first image of Sagittarius A*,...
