Yale scientists have demonstrated a new method to control the behavior of light on a silicon chip — specifically, its direction — by using sound waves. This discovery appears Sept. 17 in the journal Nature Photonics.
For decades, researchers have tried to...
Yale’s expertise in carbon pricing will be a featured component of the Global Climate Action Summit, an international gathering of public and private sector leaders this month in San Francisco.
On Sept. 13, the summit hosts “Higher Education Leadership on...
A network overview of the modular quantum architecture demonstrated in the new study.
Yale University researchers have demonstrated one of the key steps in building the architecture for modular quantum computers: the “teleportation” of a quantum gate...
Over the summer, Yale hosted the first “Granville Academy” for undergraduate summer research students.
The program is named in honor of Evelyn Boyd Granville, who obtained her Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale in 1949 and was the second African-American...
A new study says pink noise may be the key to separating out natural climate variability from climate change that is influenced by human activity.
Not familiar with pink noise? It’s a random noise in which every octave contains the same amount of energy....
Arctic sea ice isn’t just threatened by the melting of ice around its edges, a new study has found: Warmer water that originated hundreds of miles away has penetrated deep into the interior of the Arctic.
That “archived” heat, currently trapped below the...
An international, Yale-led research team has taken a new approach to stabilizing high-power lasers: They’re fighting chaos with chaos.
There has been a rapidly growing demand for high-power lasers for applications such as materials processing, large-scale...
Yale researchers have provided a new explanation for why Earth’s early climate was more stable and warmer than it is today.
When life first evolved more than 3.5 billion years ago, Earth’s surface environment looked very different. The sun was much weaker...
A new study says El Niño events may have recently diminished due to a chain of climate trends starting with the accelerated warming of subtropical waters in the North Atlantic and continuing with stronger southerly winds in the tropical Pacific. A likely...
