Perhaps you’re aware of the air quality right outside your home. But that’s one data point. What’s the air inside your home when you wake up? Or on the mornings when you burn your toast?...
The mangrove tree survives in its subtropical habitat by efficiently converting the salty water of its environment into fresh water — an engineering feat that has long baffled scientists.
Now, a team of researchers in the lab of Yale engineering professor...
A long-overlooked part of the human foot is key to how the foot works, how it evolved, and how we walk and run, a Yale-led team of researchers said.
The discovery upends nearly a century of conventional thinking about the human foot and could open new...
People can carry hazardous compounds from cigarette smoke that cling to their bodies and clothes and then release those compounds into non-smoking environments — exposing people nearby to cigarettes’ adverse effects, a new study shows.
For the last decade...
Researchers have found a promising technology for clearing water of pollutants: a new nanoparticle that converts light to heat.
Trace amounts of contaminants such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and perfluorooctanoic acid in sources of drinking water have...
In celebration and acknowledgment of their long intellectual and working history at Yale, the Department of Applied Physics (AP) and the School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) have officially rejoined forces. As of July 1, 2020, AP is a member...
Asphalt is a near-ubiquitous substance — it’s found in roads, on roofs and in driveways — but its chemical emissions rarely figure into urban air quality management plans. A new study finds that asphalt is a significant source of air pollutants in urban...
In search of a better way to desalinate water, a Yale-led team of researchers has turned to swimsuit material for inspiration.
Reverse osmosis, which uses membranes to remove unwanted salts, has been the gold standard for desalination and wastewater...
