Physicists at Yale University have made the first definitive measurements of “persistent current,” a small but perpetual electric current that flows naturally through tiny rings of metal wire even without an external power source.The team used nanoscale...
Evolutionary biology theory predicts that males usually won’t invest a lot of time raising offspring when there is a good chance they are not the fathers. Yale University researchers have found a notable exception to this premise—a male fish in the...
Leveraging more than $25 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Yale School of Medicine has created a new research center to study how our brain evolved uniquely human traits. Its founders hope that the center will identify new...
What if the world could agree on a shared creation story based on modern cosmology and biology? Could this help resolve the undeniable global problems we face today within the context of a new cosmic perspective?Yale University invites you to explore...
Hong Tang, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Yale’s School of Engineering & Applied Science, has been awarded a 2009 Packard Foundation Fellowship for Science and Engineering, the foundation announced Thursday.The fellowship is given...
Yale University researchers have detected the effects of natural selection among two generations of contemporary women and predict their descendents will be slightly shorter and chubbier, have lower cholesterol and blood pressure and have their first...
