The revolutionary tech discoveries of the next few decades, the ones that will change daily life, may come from new materials so small they make nanomaterials look like lumpy behemoths.
These new materials will be designed and refined at the picometer...
One of Earth’s greatest mysteries is how it transformed itself, ever so gradually, from a barren ball of rock into a launching pad for life.
Earth scientists have spent decades piecing together the relevant clues — identifying and studying the planet’s...
The internet is such a slowpoke.
In principle, it should operate at nearly the speed of light, which is more than 670 million miles per hour. Instead, internet data moves 37 to 100 times slower than that. The technical term for this speed gap is “network...
Yale astrophysicists have helped assemble an unprecedented census of the most powerful, growing supermassive black holes in the universe.
Using data from NASA’s Swift satellite and a collection of ground-based telescopes — including the ESO Very Large...
An extinct reptile’s oddly shaped chompers, fingers, and ear bones may tell us quite a bit about the resilience of life on Earth, according to a new study.
In fact, paleontologists at Yale, Sam Houston State University, and the University of the...
Those massive, swirling radar images shown on TV during hurricane season may have an unexpected analog in the deepest reaches of the cosmos — extrasolar storms of dust and gas from which nascent planets begin to form.
Both storms — terrestrial and...
Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum today received the 2023 Jackson-Gwilt Medal from the UK-based Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) for his development of the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, an instrument that has achieved unprecedented success in the measurement...
Three members of the Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences have received 2023 Sloan Research Fellowships, a prestigious award that recognizes early-career scientists and scholars who have potential to make important contributions to their field.
The three...
Say cheese, Pandora.
An international team of astronomers, including researchers from Yale, has unveiled the latest deep field image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): an unprecedented look at the region of space known as Pandora’s Cluster,...
