Nine Yale faculty members were among more than 200 individuals elected as members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which celebrates compelling achievements in academia, business, government, and public affairs.
The new members, who include...
For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body.
A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting quantum effects in the motion of macroscopic objects made...
For more than a century, scientists have squabbled over how the Earth’s moon formed. But researchers at Yale and in Japan say they may have the answer.
Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object slammed into the early Earth, and material dislodged from...
Astronomers have assembled a mosaic of nearly 7,500 images of one part of the sky, creating the largest and most comprehensive history book of the universe.
The Hubble Legacy Field (HLF) mosaic image combines observations from 16 years’ worth of Hubble...
Physics and applied physics professor Jack Harris, whose innovative research helped to advance the new field of quantum opto-mechanics, has won a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship.
The fellowship is the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) most prestigious...
A Yale-led team of scientists may have found a new factor to help explain the ebb and flow of Earth’s magnetic field — and it’s something familiar to anyone who has made a vinaigrette for their salad.
Earth’s magnetic field, produced near the center of...
