Chemistry professor Nilay Hazari is co-author of a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that suggests national priorities for research into turning greenhouse gas into useful products.
The report urged government...
Small planetary systems with multiple planets are not fans of heavy metal — think iron, not Iron Maiden — according to a new Yale University study.
Researchers at Yale and the Flatiron Institute have discovered that compact, multiple-planet systems are...
As Yale embraces the future of data-based research, the Department of Statistics and Data Science is busy building up its program, with more students, more faculty, a new major, and an assortment of new classes.
Over the past two years, since the former...
A new study says the colors found in modern birds’ eggs did not evolve independently, as previously thought, but evolved instead from dinosaurs.
A new animal species related to crabs and shrimp, preserved in 430-million-year-old rocks in Herefordshire, England, presents a rare look at the respiratory organs of a tiny crustacean.
A team of scientists from Yale, the University of Leicester, Oxford,...
Daniel Smith, a graduate student in the Department of Geology and Geophysics, and Bhart-Anjan Bhullar, assistant professor and assistant curator in geology and geophysics, have won a 2018 Vizzies People’s Choice award for photography from the National...
Burnt toast and dinosaur bones have a common trait, according to a new, Yale-led study. They both contain chemicals that, under the right conditions, transform original proteins into something new. It’s a process that may help researchers understand how...
A new study of fossils and embryos of birds has uncovered a key element in the evolution of bird skulls.
It has been known for some time that bird skulls have fewer elements than their non-avian dinosaur relatives. Birds do not have the postorbital and...
Yale scientists have discovered that laser light can be used to cool traveling sound waves in a silicon chip. Their findings appear in the Nov. 27 online edition of the journal Physical Review X.
In the last several decades, the ability to cool clouds of...
