A Yale-led team of chemists has unveiled the blueprints for a key enzyme that may contain design principles for a new generation of synthetic solar fuel catalysts.
The research, led by Yale’s Gary Brudvig and Christopher Gisriel, uses cryo-electron...
Primordial black holes created in the first instants after the Big Bang — tiny ones smaller than the head of a pin and supermassive ones covering billions of miles — may account for all of the dark matter in the universe.
That’s the implication of a new...
Yale scientists say Earth’s ancient oceans likely were much saltier than they are today — a finding that may spice up our understanding of how life, atmosphere, and climate evolved on the planet.
In a new study, Yale professor of Earth & planetary...
Astrophysicist Marla Geha has been doing some trash talking lately.
Nothing unseemly or untoward, to be sure. Just friendly reminders that orbiting garbage is starting to clog up Earth’s satellite lanes like a halo of space waste.
Geha says we might want...
A new study introduces a novel way for tectonic plates — massive sheets of rock that jostle for position in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle — to bend and sink.
It’s a bit of planetary Pilates that may solve the longstanding mystery of “subduction,” the...
Yale not only played virtual host for this year’s Ivy+ Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on Nov. 18 — it’s also home to the winner.
Matthew Ellis, a Yale Ph.D. student in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, took top honors for his...
Yale physicist Laura Newburgh and her collaborators at the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) are winners of the 2022 Lancelot M. Berkeley – New York Community Trust Prize for Meritorious Work in Astronomy for breakthroughs in the...
Yale University and the City of New Haven today reconfirmed their historic, three-century partnership for a new generation, announcing a six-year commitment that increases the university’s annual voluntary financial contribution to the city and creates...
Yale has announced details of its three-pronged approach to achieving “carbon zero” status on campus by 2050, a sweeping plan that will reshape the university’s approach to the consumption of energy.
The new details address one of the key goals of the...
These are boom times for Yale physicist Bonnie Fleming and the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE).
On Oct. 27, Fleming and other leaders of the international experiment announced the first results of MicroBooNE’s search for an anomaly that...
