Yale geophysicists reported that Earth’s ever-shifting, underground network of tectonic plates was firmly in place more than 4 billion years ago — at least a billion years earlier than scientists generally thought.
Tectonic plates are large slabs of rock...
A new, Yale-led study shows that some supermassive black holes actually thrive under pressure.
It has been known for some time that when distant galaxies — and the supermassive black holes within their cores — aggregate into clusters, these clusters...
Hannah Dickson says her Yale years have been, in effect, a primer on leadership.
Not least due to her prominent roles in Davenport College, the graduating senior and Air Force ROTC cadet has learned and observed how organizations structure their...
Elizabeth Ruddy’s bright college years have been filled with pirouettes, particles, and possibilities.
Ruddy, a graduating senior in Berkeley College, came to Yale from Needham, Mass., with a determination to be open to new pursuits. She’d spent a fair...
Yale physicist Nicholas Read has been elected a fellow of the Royal Society, one of the most highly regarded honors bestowed upon scientists in the United Kingdom and select foreign institutions.

Behind every good idea for a drug to fight COVID-19, there’s often a good library of chemicals.
At Yale, that library is at the Yale Center for Molecular Discovery (YCMD) — home to collections of 300,000 small molecules and 18,000 genomic probes....
Matteo Fabbri’s happy place is halfway up a steep hill of earth and rocks in the Sahara Desert.
There, beneath the broiling Moroccan sun and tons of burnt-orange dirt, are the fossilized remains of a dinosaur with a fin. Fabbri, a 30-year-old graduate...
Professor Scott J. Miller has been elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in recognition of his distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
The academy selected 120 new members and 26 international members during...
Long before the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, the Yale Genome Editing Center (YGEC) was a valuable resource for preserving genetic data for important medical and biological research.
The center’s scientists genetically engineer research colonies...
Yale technology is giving astronomers a closer look at the atmosphere of a distant planet where it’s so hot the air contains vaporized metals.
The planet, MASCARA-2 b, is 140 parsecs from Earth — or roughly 2.68 quadrillion miles. It’s a gas giant, like...
