The Yale Science Building has officially emerged from its crane-topped chrysalis, ready and primed for scientists eager to wrestle with the key questions facing life on Earth in the 21st century.
After two years of construction, the $283 million project...
The dramatic transformation of Science Hill takes center stage at a campus celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
The new Yale Science Building (YSB), 260 Whitney Ave., is set for a grand opening ceremony at 4 p.m. in the building’s nearly 500-seat O.C. Marsh...
Scientists have looked for immune system factors that might help mosquitoes ward off pathogens such as malarial parasites and indirectly protect humans from infection. Yale researchers found one by editing a single gene, which turns out to be crucial for...
Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly, affecting more than 2 million people in the United States and leading to progressive loss of central vision. Genome wide studies have identified almost three dozen...
The lab of Stephen Waxman, Bridget M. Flaherty Professor of Neurology and of neuroscience, has identified the key role of sodium channels arrayed on nerve cells in experience of pain.
In a new paper published in Science Advances, the Yale team led by...
A new study led by Yale University confirms a long-held theory about the last great mass extinction event in history and how it affected Earth’s oceans. The findings may also answer questions about how marine life eventually recovered.
The researchers say...
The search for sustainable approaches to generating new fuels has brought scientists back to one of the most abundant materials on Earth — reddish iron oxide in the form of hematite, also known as rust.
Researchers say rust has long been seen as a...
Yale Cancer Center scientists have built a powerful genomic research platform to study cervical cancer, a disease that often is untreatable if it progresses after surgery or primary chemo-radiation treatment. The work is described in a study published...
Many neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism have been linked to disruption of the key neurotransmitter GABA, but the underlying causes of the disruptions have been difficult to pinpoint. In two new papers published Oct....
