Two Yale faculty members — Maureen Long and Elena Gracheva — are finalists for 2020 Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists, the world’s largest unrestricted prize for early-career scientists.
Thirty-one scientists have been chosen as finalists...
The story of life on Earth is a tale of beginnings and endings — and of the interplay of geochemical forces, plate tectonics, and climate cycles over millions of years.
Now, a team of researchers led by Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
Every year about one in three adults age 65 and older takes a fall, and 20 to 30% of those who fall suffer significant injuries such as head trauma or a broken hip. A new study shows how difficult it is to prevent these injuries, even with help from...
Step aside, skeletons — a new world of biochemical “signatures” found in all kinds of ancient fossils is revealing itself to paleontologists, providing a new avenue for insights into major evolutionary questions.
In a new study published in the journal...
Yale’s pilot COVID-19 screening program has shown that the university can efficiently and effectively conduct asymptomatic testing for the novel coronavirus — and that there are currently few positive test results among individuals without symptoms in the...
Yale has launched an online dashboard for state and campus COVID-19 screening statistics that is open to public view and intended to serve as a convenient and reliable community resource. It will be updated weekly.

Yale University scientists have developed a novel chemical process that may lead to the creation of a new class of antibiotics.The discovery comes at a time when more types of bacteria are becoming resistant to existing antibiotics, increasing the...
Yale University scientists may have cracked a part of the chemical code for one of the most basic, yet mysterious, processes in the natural world — nature’s ability to transform nitrogen from the air into usable nitrogen compounds.
The process is called...
A nifty move with nitrogen has brought the world one step closer to creating a range of useful products — from dyes to pharmaceuticals — out of thin air.
The discovery comes from a team of Yale chemists who found a way to combine atmospheric nitrogen with...
