Yale’s latest work expanding the reach of quantum information science is actually a game of quantum pitch and catch.
In a new study published April 23 in the journal Nature Physics, Yale researchers “pitch” a qubit — a tiny bit of quantum data — from one...
Astronomers are beginning to understand what happens when black holes get the urge to roam the Milky Way.
Typically, a supermassive black hole (SMBH) exists at the core of a massive galaxy. But sometimes SMBHs may “wander” throughout their host galaxy,...
Tim Miller, a doctoral candidate in astronomy, is first author of a new study in the journal Nature about the initial stirrings of a 14-galaxy collision in the distant universe.
The galactic crash will become a massive galaxy cluster. Scientists know this...
Lots of problems have already been solved. They just don’t always have the best solution, said Yale professor Daniel Spielman.
“By thinking about a problem, you can come up with a whole new way of solving it that might be much faster,” said Spielman, the...
In the world of chemistry, good things can happen if you just add sugar.
A wide range of drugs and biochemical probes — everything from antibiotics to Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers — rely on natural or synthetic compounds that aid a reaction by adding...
Engineered nanomaterials hold great promise for medicine, electronics, water treatment, and other fields. But when the materials are designed without critical information about environmental impacts at the start of the process, their long-term effects...
