Yale’s research labs are coming back to life — with new safety measures in place and a renewed sense of purpose.
Since June 1, the start of a broad, three-phase reactivation of campus, an estimated 4,000 faculty members, graduate students, and staff...
Two Yale faculty members — Maureen Long and Elena Gracheva — are finalists for 2020 Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists, the world’s largest unrestricted prize for early-career scientists.
Thirty-one scientists have been chosen as finalists...
The story of life on Earth is a tale of beginnings and endings — and of the interplay of geochemical forces, plate tectonics, and climate cycles over millions of years.
Now, a team of researchers led by Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
Step aside, skeletons — a new world of biochemical “signatures” found in all kinds of ancient fossils is revealing itself to paleontologists, providing a new avenue for insights into major evolutionary questions.
In a new study published in the journal...
Yale University scientists have developed a novel chemical process that may lead to the creation of a new class of antibiotics.The discovery comes at a time when more types of bacteria are becoming resistant to existing antibiotics, increasing the...
Yale University scientists may have cracked a part of the chemical code for one of the most basic, yet mysterious, processes in the natural world — nature’s ability to transform nitrogen from the air into usable nitrogen compounds.
The process is called...
A nifty move with nitrogen has brought the world one step closer to creating a range of useful products — from dyes to pharmaceuticals — out of thin air.
The discovery comes from a team of Yale chemists who found a way to combine atmospheric nitrogen with...
Yale physicists have developed an error-correcting cat — a new device that combines the Schrödinger’s cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum...
Sarecycline, a drug approved for use in the United States in 2018, is the first new antibiotic approved to treat acne in more than 40 years. Now, researchers at Yale and the University of Illinois-Chicago have discovered how its unique chemical structure...
