Yale researchers have developed a way to target RNA with small-molecule drugs, creating a new method for tapping into a vast number of biological mechanisms critical to metabolism and gene expression.
“There is tremendous interest in targeting RNA with...
A research team has found new evidence that fish rapidly evolved in two phases following the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) mass extinction that occurred 66 million years ago.
The team, which included Yale’s Pincelli Hull, made the discovery by examining...
Fabio Pacucci, a Yale postdoctoral associate, has helped create an animated video about black holes for the educational website TED-Ed.
The five-minute video, “Could the Earth be Swallowed by a Black Hole?” debuted on Sept. 20. Pacucci worked for months...
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...
