A Yale-led research team has discovered a molecular “device” found in nature that harvests a particular sliver of the sunlight spectrum in order to convert it into chemical energy.
In a study led by Yale’s Gary Brudvig and Christopher Gisriel, and Donald...
This month, Insights & Outcomes dissects the demographics of clinical trials for new cancer drugs, gets real about childhood obesity, dives into ancient oceans to learn about the carbon cycle, and draws a parallel between the density of the universe...
A few months ago, Chase Brownstein, a Yale undergraduate, and Professor Thomas Near were at odds. Together, the pair had authored a first-of-its-kind study reconstructing the evolutionary history of lampreys — an ancient group of jawless fish — using...
