Yale scientists used laser light to gain access to long-lived sound waves in crystalline solids as the basis for information storage. The result was published online April 2 in the journal Nature Physics.
Acoustic technologies that harness the power of...
Students in “Introduction to Engineering Innovation & Design” course spend half a semester putting their new engineering skills to work for other members of the Yale community. This team partnered with the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural...
Researchers have identified key molecular mechanisms at work when people smell musks, a highly valued group of fixatives used in many perfumes and colognes. The discovery may have implications for a wide range of effects on mood and behavior in...
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...
