Yale scientists have created a simple-to-produce device that uses sound waves to store quantum information and convert it from one form to another, all inside a single, integrated chip.
The device allows a superconducting artificial atom — a qubit — to...
An algorithm that helps engineers design better helicopters may help astronomers more precisely envision the formation of planets and galaxies.
Yale researchers Darryl Seligman and Greg Laughlin have created a new model for understanding how black holes,...
Two postdoctoral researchers have been named finalists of the 2017 Blavatnik Regional Awards for Young Scientists. Established in 2007, the awards are given annually by the Blavatnik Family Foundation, and administered by the New York Academy of Sciences...
A Yale-led research team has discovered a cache of embryo-like microfossils in northern Mongolia that may shed light on questions about the long-ago shift from microbes to animals on Earth.
Called the Khesen Formation, the site is one of the most...
Make way for some new memsistors.
For years, the computer industry has sought memory technologies with higher endurance, lower cost, and better energy efficiency than commercial flash memories. Now, an international collaboration of scientists may have...
From quantifying the wisdom of crowds to measuring polarization in political speech, data science is enhancing a wide range of social science research.
On Oct. 20, Yale held its first Data Science Workshop, a daylong event focused on computational social...
For its first town hall on “The American University in the Twenty-First Century,” the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Senate examined the role of science in education, research, and public policy.
The Oct. 29 event featured a panel of Yale faculty and...
Beneath its rugged, rocky exterior, New England is wicked hot and on the move, a new study says.
Geophysicists at Yale and Rutgers have found a localized region of New England’s upper mantle, centered beneath Vermont and New Hampshire, that is unusually...
New research by Yale University scientists suggests rocky planets orbiting other stars may hide thick layers of diamond beneath the surface.
“A carbon-rich planet likely forms from a material called silicon carbide, but at the high temperatures inside of...
