The technology behind amphibious robotics, marine observation devices, and other water-based innovations has progressed dramatically in recent years. Finding research facilities that can keep up with these advances, though, has proved tricky.
To that end...
Humans and animals are incredibly adept when it comes to adapting to their environments. For example, when humans step on ice, it only takes a few shuffles of our feet for us to learn to glide. Instilling similar adaptive abilities in robots, though, has...
Menachem Elimelech, the Sterling Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale, has been awarded the Connecticut Medal of Technology, the state’s highest honor for technological achievement.
The award was announced by the Connecticut Academy...
Logan Wright, who came to Yale last July, is an applied physicist with big ambitions. He wants to take the power of programming and algorithms to new levels and expand what’s possible with computing.
His long-term goals include creating what he calls “...

The law can be a complicated thing, even for seemingly simple matters. Wondering if the oak tree in your front yard is in violation of local zoning ordinances? Figuring that out could mean...
The first thing people typically know about the father-son team of Kevin Czinger ’82, ’87 J.D and Lukas Czinger ’17 is the car.
Known as the Czinger 21C, it’s sleek, sporty, and extremely fast. And it has the numbers to back up its futuristic look: 1,350...
A team of researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut (UConn) has developed a nanoparticle-based treatment that targets multiple culprits in glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer.
The results are published Feb...

The ancient city of Dura-Europos, on the bank of the Euphrates River in present-day Syria, has long fascinated archaeologists and historians for its cultural diversity — Jewish, Christian,...
Imagine being able to morph your legs into flippers before you jump in the water. Yale researchers have created a robot that accomplishes this feat through a process they dubbed “adaptive morphogenesis.”
The project is described in the Oct. 12 edition of...
