Treatment for obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior is now available in a group setting at Yale psychological services. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves excessive worry about being harmed in some way. People with the disorder may...
Yale and Rice University scientists have demonstrated molecular devices that act as reversible electronic switches, making it possible to build smaller computers that are less expensive. The vast improvements and reduced cost seen in computers and...
A Yale research team has succeeded for the first time in turning supercritical carbon dioxide, which is CO2 under tremendous pressure, into gel form. The discovery could have widespread application in a number of industries, including oil drilling, in...
