The search for sustainable approaches to generating new fuels has brought scientists back to one of the most abundant materials on Earth — reddish iron oxide in the form of hematite, also known as rust.
Researchers say rust has long been seen as a...
The Yale Science Building has officially emerged from its crane-topped chrysalis, ready and primed for scientists eager to wrestle with the key questions facing life on Earth in the 21st century.

A new Yale study shows that some patients being treated for severe heart failure with a battery-operated pump saw significant improvement after additionally using neurohormonal blockade (NHB) drug therapy.
NHB therapy, which includes three broad...
Making methanol just got a lot easier, now that chemists at Yale have opened up a new electron highway.
The discovery, published online Nov. 27 in the journal Nature, finds a novel solution for two chemical tasks: producing methanol — a volatile, liquid...
A Yale-led group of doctors has developed a new mathematical model that can predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing a common heart procedure.
For patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known...
Yale astronomers have taken a new, close-up image of the interstellar comet 2l/Borisov.
2l/Borisov, first spotted this summer, continues to draw nearer to Earth and will reach its closest approach — about 190 million miles — in early December. Researchers...
Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest “comma” shrimp, a tiny crustacean shaped like its punctuation namesake.
The 90-million-year-old creature fills in a major evolutionary gap for a family of marine animals now found in abundance around the...
There’s a new path out of the “food desert,” and it’s as close as the nearest Internet connection.
A Yale University analysis found that most people in “food deserts” in eight states would increase their access to healthy, nutritious food if they purchase...
The mammal tree of life is a real leaner. Some branches are weighed down with thousands of species — we’re looking at you, rodents and bats — while others hold just a few species.
Now we may have a better idea why.
In a new study published in the journal...
