We may not be able to time a live Tyrannosaurus rex in the 100-yard dash, but scientists say they now have a good sense of the maximum speed for many of the world’s largest animals, past and present.
In a study published July 17 in Nature Ecology and...
Helen Caines has spent much of her professional life immersed in cosmic soup.
While other physicists have chased gravitational waves, cultivated qubits, and mused about dark matter, Caines has focused squarely on the thick glop of particles that...
Yale researchers have identified 60 potential new “hot Jupiters” — highly irradiated worlds that glow like coals on a barbecue grill and are found orbiting only 1% of Sun-like stars.
Hot Jupiters constitute a class of gas giant planets located so close...
The transfer and storage of energy during photosynthesis is considered one of the world’s great marvels, and a new study has identified natural design principles within the process that could improve energy efficiency in new solar technology.In...
Yale University scientists have developed a novel chemical process that may lead to the creation of a new class of antibiotics.The discovery comes at a time when more types of bacteria are becoming resistant to existing antibiotics, increasing the...
