If powerful new quantum computers are to reach their enormous potential, they will need amplifiers capable of transmitting signals so weak they consist of a single photon. In the May 6 edition of the journal Nature, a team of Yale scientists report...
A single, very unusual family with Tourette syndrome (TS) has led Yale School of Medicine researchers to identify a rare mutation in a gene that is required to produce histamine. The finding provides a new framework to understand many years of data on the...
When people at cocktail parties used to ask Charles Schmuttenmaer what he did, he would say he was a chemistry professor who worked on transient-photo conductivity in gallium arsenide. “At that point they would generally ask me to pass the chips,” the...
A team of Yale University scientists has discovered a previously unknown type of molecular scissors that can tailor micro-RNAs, tiny snippets of genetic material that play a key role in regulating many of life’s functions.The team also found that the...
Vision may be something that most of us take for granted, but not Elsa Yan. The assistant professor of chemistry has been studying the molecular basis of vision since she started applying physical chemistry techniques to study molecular biology problems...
For Jessie Papagoda of East Haven, Connecticut, the opening of Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven changed everything.Until last October, Jessie and all cancer patients at Yale had to spend much of their day traveling between several buildings on the...
