Over the summer, Yale hosted the first “Granville Academy” for undergraduate summer research students.
The program is named in honor of Evelyn Boyd Granville, who obtained her Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale in 1949 and was the second African-American...
A network overview of the modular quantum architecture demonstrated in the new study.
Yale University researchers have demonstrated one of the key steps in building the architecture for modular quantum computers: the “teleportation” of a quantum gate...
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...
Fabio Pacucci, a Yale postdoctoral associate, has helped create an animated video about black holes for the educational website TED-Ed.
The five-minute video, “Could the Earth be Swallowed by a Black Hole?” debuted on Sept. 20. Pacucci worked for months...
A research team has found new evidence that fish rapidly evolved in two phases following the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) mass extinction that occurred 66 million years ago.
The team, which included Yale’s Pincelli Hull, made the discovery by examining...
Yale researchers have developed a way to target RNA with small-molecule drugs, creating a new method for tapping into a vast number of biological mechanisms critical to metabolism and gene expression.
“There is tremendous interest in targeting RNA with...
Chemistry professor Nilay Hazari is co-author of a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that suggests national priorities for research into turning greenhouse gas into useful products.
The report urged government...
Small planetary systems with multiple planets are not fans of heavy metal — think iron, not Iron Maiden — according to a new Yale University study.
Researchers at Yale and the Flatiron Institute have discovered that compact, multiple-planet systems are...
