A Yale initiative that bridges the gap between data science and neuroscience has received an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The Yale initiative was one of 19 partnerships between science and engineering disciplines to receive $8.5...
Ribosomes churn out proteins that carry out all of life’s functions, but when missing a key and previously overlooked factor, they can break down in times of stress, Yale University scientists have discovered.
The protein, Lso2/CCDC124, is so tiny — just...
The combination of a new sequencing technique and machine learning can speed up the diagnosis of diseases in newborns and reduce false-positive results, Yale researchers and their collaborators report.
Blood is routinely drawn from a pinprick of an infant...
Yale undergraduate Maya Juman spent four weeks this summer at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) cleaning up a scientific mess concerning a species of tree shrew.
Juman, a junior majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology, is...
When you think of robotics, you likely think of something rigid, heavy, and built for a specific purpose. New “Robotic Skins” technology developed by Yale researchers flips that notion on its head, allowing users to animate the inanimate and turn everyday...
For human cells to form and move normally during development, a network of protein filaments, known as the actin cytoskeleton, must organize the cell’s shape from within. To help rearrange this network, another protein known as filamin must bind and...
Yale scientists have demonstrated a new method to control the behavior of light on a silicon chip — specifically, its direction — by using sound waves. This discovery appears Sept. 17 in the journal Nature Photonics.
For decades, researchers have tried to...
Brains of people at risk of psychosis exhibit a pattern that can help predict whether they will go on to develop full-fledged schizophrenia, a new Yale-led study shows.
