For decades, the relatively unblemished surface of Venus has...
From his office in New Haven, Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons, from hot and humid summers to dry and chilly winters. But it occurred to him that many of his research subjects — North American birds — eschew the...
“Strange metal,” that rogue phenomenon of the electrical realm, just became a little less enigmatic.
Identified more than 40 years ago, strange metal is a state of matter found in many quantum materials — including certain superconductors that scientists...
This month, Insights & Outcomes is coming at you with all the feels — from the neurological underpinnings of vicarious thrills and the biological network that influences cravings, to the brain’s connections to physical frailty and the queasiness that...
Researchers have found the first direct evidence of a “background” of gravitational waves in the universe — a sign that gravitational waves from slowly merging pairs of supermassive black holes, or possibly from the early universe, can be detected from...

Yale will create a new Center for Geospatial Solutions (YCGS) to enhance the university’s research, training, and engagement infrastructure in the rapidly evolving areas of geospatial science, data, and analysis, university leaders have announced....
A new dataset of genetic information collected from 233 primate species, the largest and most complete of its kind, promises to yield insights into primates’ evolutionary biology and how genetics influences their behavior, says Yale biological...
Insights & Outcomes welcomes the start of summer break with an honor for a Yale applied mathematician, a protein that multitasks, new insights into some colorful sediments, and a new way to study a key area of the human brain.
As always, you can find...
