One of the key concepts in quantum physics is entanglement, in which two or more quantum systems become so inextricably linked that their collective state can’t be determined by observing each element individually. Now Yale researchers have developed a “...
Like going from a pinhole camera to a Polaroid, a significant mathematical update to the formula for a popular bioinformatics data visualization method will allow researchers to develop snapshots of single-cell gene expression not only several times...
Yale professor of geology and geophysics Jun Korenaga will take part in a new, NASA-supported project that will examine the specific conditions that led to the rise of life on Earth.
Called the Earth First Origins project, the effort has been awarded a $9...
A new study has given scientists more to chew on regarding the evolution and inner workings of the mammalian jaw.
Researchers at Yale, Brown, Harvard, and the University of Texas-Austin found two key characteristics of how early mammals chewed their food...
Yale University continuously leverages the power of partnerships and global networks to solve problems around the world. The work of the Yale chapter of Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-Yale) is a perfect example of how such an approach can create and...
The heavens delivered a bit of scientific vindication to Yale professor of astronomy and physics Priyamvada Natarajan recently, when her 20-year-old theory about winds from distant black holes was proven correct.
In 1999, when she was a graduate student...
The second law of thermodynamics states that all closed systems tend towards disorder over time and maintain order through the expenditure of energy.
In most developing organisms, scientists assumed that most of the energy was expended on the replication...
