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...
The Yale Department of Physics, Wright Laboratory, and the Yale Department of Chemistry hosted a two-day symposium Oct. 5-6 in celebration of the career of Francesco Iachello, the J.W. Gibbs Professor Emeritus and research professor of physics, and...
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 undergraduate Maya Juman spent four weeks this summer at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) cleaning up a scientific mess concerning a species of tree shrew.
Juman, a junior majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology, is...
Ribosomes churn out proteins that carry out all of life’s functions, but when missing a key and previously overlooked factor, they can break down in times of stress, Yale University scientists have discovered.
The protein, Lso2/CCDC124, is so tiny — just...
A Yale initiative that bridges the gap between data science and neuroscience has received an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The Yale initiative was one of 19 partnerships between science and engineering disciplines to receive $8.5...
