We may not be able to time a live Tyrannosaurus rex in the 100-yard dash, but scientists say they now have a good sense of the maximum speed for many of the world’s largest animals, past and present.
In a study published July 17 in Nature Ecology and...
Arctic sea ice is not merely a passive responder to the climate changes occurring around the world, according to new research.
Scientists at Yale University and the University of Southampton say the ongoing Arctic ice loss can play an active role in...
Chemists at Yale and Oregon State University have discovered a new process for converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, potentially establishing a framework for creating fuels and chemical products from carbon emissions.
Electrochemical carbon...
Scientists have identified a small marine predator that once patrolled the ocean floor and grabbed its prey with 50 spines that it deployed from its head.
Named Capinatator praetermissus, it is roughly four inches long and represents a new genus and...
Sustainability will be as much a part of daily life at Pauli Murray and Benjamin Franklin Colleges as leisurely strolls across the courtyards.
When students arrive at the new Yale residential colleges, they will find buildings, services, meals, and...
Yale Department of Astronomy faculty and students are turning their telescopes to the “Path of Totality” for the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21.
On that morning and afternoon — depending on the viewer’s location within the continental United States — the...
A new study argues that the “swimmers” of the natural world — from ships at sea to microorganisms floating through the bloodstream to ubiquitous quantum particles — exert a predictable influence on each other within seemingly chaotic environments....
After three years of study, discussion, and experimentation, Yale University has implemented a carbon charge that affects more than 250 buildings and nearly 70% of campus carbon dioxide emissions.
The carbon charge began July 1. Yale is the first...
Yale scientists have developed a new class of small molecules that attack fungal infections by clinging to the cell wall of harmful fungi and recruiting a swarm of antibodies to join the fight.
The discovery offers a potential new therapeutic approach to...
