Yale researchers have figured out how to catch and save Schrödinger’s famous cat, the symbol of quantum superposition and unpredictability, by anticipating its jumps and acting in real time to save it from proverbial doom. In the process, they overturn...
A team of international and local researchers working in Ethiopia have discovered the earliest-known examples of complex stone tools. With sharp edges intentionally made by striking two rocks together, the tools date to between 2.61 and 2.58 million years...
Academics used to tease paleontologists, saying that while dinosaurs appeal to children, they won’t answer the important evolutionary questions.

On June 7, the Yale Postdoctoral Association and the Office of the Provost announced the winners of the inaugural Art in Research Competition.
Winners were selected in a variety of categories, including research microphotography, research macrophotography...
Here’s a little-known fact about quantum computing: It sounds remarkably warm.
While much of the focus in quantum research has been on the race to build a useful quantum computer, one that far outstrips the computing power of traditional computers, a...
Astronomers have discovered a new class of “cold quasars” that could change our perception of how galaxies mature.
The discovery was announced June 12 at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in St. Louis.
Cold quasars are galaxies that...
