Yale’s Julie Zimmerman, a globally recognized engineer whose research in green engineering laid the groundwork for a generation of safer, more sustainable chemicals, materials, and practices across industry and academia, has been named the university’s...
A wafer-thin slice of meteorite at the Yale Peabody Museum contains otherworldly gems. Olivine crystals, known as peridots to jewelers, are embedded in the specimen’s shiny iron-nickel alloy. When held to light, the yellow crystals glow brightly.

Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out at the global scale.
Yet that knowledge might prove...
This month, Insights & Outcomes rolls up its sleeves for some new research on plugging holes in leaky nuclear membranes, boosting the carbon storage abilities of agricultural soil, digging under the surface of microbial cities, and finding a cosmic “...
