In the world of chemistry, good things can happen if you just add sugar.
A wide range of drugs and biochemical probes — everything from antibiotics to Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers — rely on natural or synthetic compounds that aid a reaction by adding...
Tim Miller, a doctoral candidate in astronomy, is first author of a new study in the journal Nature about the initial stirrings of a 14-galaxy collision in the distant universe.
The galactic crash will become a massive galaxy cluster. Scientists know this...
Astronomers are beginning to understand what happens when black holes get the urge to roam the Milky Way.
Typically, a supermassive black hole (SMBH) exists at the core of a massive galaxy. But sometimes SMBHs may “wander” throughout their host galaxy,...
Yale’s latest work expanding the reach of quantum information science is actually a game of quantum pitch and catch.
In a new study published April 23 in the journal Nature Physics, Yale researchers “pitch” a qubit — a tiny bit of quantum data — from one...
Researchers have identified key molecular mechanisms at work when people smell musks, a highly valued group of fixatives used in many perfumes and colognes. The discovery may have implications for a wide range of effects on mood and behavior in...
Yale scientists used laser light to gain access to long-lived sound waves in crystalline solids as the basis for information storage. The result was published online April 2 in the journal Nature Physics.
Acoustic technologies that harness the power of...
An intricate lattice of microscopic magnets has led researchers to observe behavior that is reminiscent of the complexities of quantum mechanical systems, but in the context of a purely classical system.
In a new study published online April 2 in the...
Researchers have found an ancient monitor lizard with a fourth eye — a discovery that may signal a new wrinkle in the way eyesight evolved in vertebrates.
“This tells us how easy it is, in terms of evolution, for a complex organ to self-assemble under...
A Yale-led research team has discovered a galaxy that contains no dark matter — a finding that confirms the possibility of dark matter as a separate material elsewhere in the universe.
The discovery has broad implications for astrophysics, the researchers...
