Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest “comma” shrimp, a tiny crustacean shaped like its punctuation namesake.
The 90-million-year-old creature fills in a major evolutionary gap for a family of marine animals now found in abundance around the...
Yale astronomers have taken a new, close-up image of the interstellar comet 2l/Borisov.
2l/Borisov, first spotted this summer, continues to draw nearer to Earth and will reach its closest approach — about 190 million miles — in early December. Researchers...
Yale will undertake a top-to-bottom renovation of Kline Tower, a major project expected to further enrich the intellectual makeup of Science Hill, university leaders said this week.
Planning for the renovation of the landmark structure is entering its...
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet like the Keto regimen has its fans, but influenza apparently isn’t one of them.
Mice fed a ketogenic diet were better able to combat the flu virus than mice fed food high in carbohydrates, according to a new Yale...
Elisa Celis doesn’t see any reason why artificial intelligence (AI) can’t reflect a society’s best values, as well as its commercial interests.
It’s the idea at the heart of her efforts as a data scientist: Fairness and inclusion can be written into...
A new study led by Yale University confirms a long-held theory about the last great mass extinction event in history and how it affected Earth’s oceans. The findings may also answer questions about how marine life eventually recovered.
The researchers say...
The search for sustainable approaches to generating new fuels has brought scientists back to one of the most abundant materials on Earth — reddish iron oxide in the form of hematite, also known as rust.
Researchers say rust has long been seen as a...
The revolutionary tech discoveries of the next few decades, the ones that will change daily life, may come from new materials so small they make nanomaterials look like lumpy behemoths.
These new materials will be designed and refined at the picometer...
