Here’s a little-known fact about quantum computing: It sounds remarkably warm.
While much of the focus in quantum research has been on the race to build a useful quantum computer, one that far outstrips the computing power of traditional computers, a...
On June 7, the Yale Postdoctoral Association and the Office of the Provost announced the winners of the inaugural Art in Research Competition.
Winners were selected in a variety of categories, including research microphotography, research macrophotography...
Yale researchers have figured out how to catch and save Schrödinger’s famous cat, the symbol of quantum superposition and unpredictability, by anticipating its jumps and acting in real time to save it from proverbial doom. In the process, they overturn...
A Yale-led team of scientists may have found a new factor to help explain the ebb and flow of Earth’s magnetic field — and it’s something familiar to anyone who has made a vinaigrette for their salad.
Earth’s magnetic field, produced near the center of...
Physics and applied physics professor Jack Harris, whose innovative research helped to advance the new field of quantum opto-mechanics, has won a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship.
The fellowship is the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) most prestigious...
Astronomers have assembled a mosaic of nearly 7,500 images of one part of the sky, creating the largest and most comprehensive history book of the universe.
The Hubble Legacy Field (HLF) mosaic image combines observations from 16 years’ worth of Hubble...
For more than a century, scientists have squabbled over how the Earth’s moon formed. But researchers at Yale and in Japan say they may have the answer.
Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object slammed into the early Earth, and material dislodged from...
For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body.
A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting quantum effects in the motion of macroscopic objects made...
