Yale physicists have developed a detailed theory for how complex electronic materials, like those used in modern computer disk drives, operate. “New complex materials are often at the heart of electronic devices that underlie today’s Internet and...
A group of Yale students have developed a device called Gun Guard that keeps children under age six from playing with loaded handguns, while still offering protection for gun owners. Designed in a Yale course called “Creativity and New Product...
In the largest genome project of its kind to date, Yale scientists have succeeded in fully characterizing the function of the yeast gene, furthering understanding of how human cells work. “While the human genome project so far has focused on the...
Treatment for obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior is now available in a group setting at Yale psychological services. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves excessive worry about being harmed in some way. People with the disorder may...
Yale and Rice University scientists have demonstrated molecular devices that act as reversible electronic switches, making it possible to build smaller computers that are less expensive. The vast improvements and reduced cost seen in computers and...
Michael J. Donoghue, an expert in biodiversity at Harvard University, has been named the G. Evelyn Hutchinson Professor in Yale’s burgeoning Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). Donoghue joins the department at a time of growth in areas...
Yale scientists have received a $3 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to test triarchic instruction, a teaching method that focuses on children’s creative and practical strengths, rather than their academic skills. “When we expand the...
Computer storage capacity can be vastly increased using a molecular memory based on a single molecule, a research team from Yale and Rice Universities has discovered. The discovery attacks one of the major problems facing the microelectronics industry...
Electrical engineering Professors A. Stephen Morse and Peter Belhumeur are recipients of a $2.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the second largest 1999 award among 31 national research grants to study knowledge and distributed...
Yale University President Richard C. Levin delivered the following opening statement today during testimony in Washington before the Science and Technology Caucus of the United States Senate: Members of the Caucus, thank you for inviting me to discuss...
