An algorithm that helps engineers design better helicopters may help astronomers more precisely envision the formation of planets and galaxies.
Yale researchers Darryl Seligman and Greg Laughlin have created a new model for understanding how black holes,...
Two postdoctoral researchers have been named finalists of the 2017 Blavatnik Regional Awards for Young Scientists. Established in 2007, the awards are given annually by the Blavatnik Family Foundation, and administered by the New York Academy of Sciences...
Yale scientists have created a simple-to-produce device that uses sound waves to store quantum information and convert it from one form to another, all inside a single, integrated chip.
The device allows a superconducting artificial atom — a qubit — to...
The most-studied galaxy in the universe — the Milky Way — might not be as “typical” as previously thought, according to a new study.
The Milky Way, which is home to Earth and its solar system, is host to several dozen smaller galaxy satellites. These...
Researchers are learning more about the evolution of echinoderms, the group that includes sand dollars, sea urchins, and starfish, thanks to new evidence of the tentacle-like, tube feet of an extinct group of sea creatures.
Tube feet enable starfish and...
Yale scientists have developed a new class of small molecules that attack fungal infections by clinging to the cell wall of harmful fungi and recruiting a swarm of antibodies to join the fight.
The discovery offers a potential new therapeutic approach to...
After three years of study, discussion, and experimentation, Yale University has implemented a carbon charge that affects more than 250 buildings and nearly 70% of campus carbon dioxide emissions.
The carbon charge began July 1. Yale is the first...
A new study argues that the “swimmers” of the natural world — from ships at sea to microorganisms floating through the bloodstream to ubiquitous quantum particles — exert a predictable influence on each other within seemingly chaotic environments....
Yale Department of Astronomy faculty and students are turning their telescopes to the “Path of Totality” for the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21.
On that morning and afternoon — depending on the viewer’s location within the continental United States — the...
