Physicists Observe Quantum Behavior in Liquid Vibrations
For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body. A great deal of ongoing research is…
Scientists Restore Partial Brain Function Hours After Death
Circulation and cellular activity were restored in a pig’s brain four hours after its death, a finding that challenges long-held assumptions about the timing and…
New Shape-Changing Robots Take on Changing Terrains
Robots can change directions, speeds and even their colors. But what about changing their shapes? With help from a sculptor’s intuition, Yale researchers are on…
Scientists Reveal Another Way HIV Hides From Vaccines
A Yale-led team has discovered yet another molecular trick HIV uses to survive immune system attacks, a finding that may influence efforts to develop an…
Researchers Discover Fossils of Cthulhu-Like Creature
Cthulhu is calling from the ancient depths — and this time, researchers are only too happy to speak its name. Researchers at Yale, Oxford, the…
New Study Solves Longstanding Nanowire Mystery
Deep in the ocean or underground, where there is no oxygen, Geobacter bacteria “breathe” by projecting tiny protein filaments called “nanowires” into the soil, to…
New Technology Makes Sound Flow In One Direction
Imagine being able to hear people whispering in the next room, while the raucous party in your own room is inaudible to the whisperers. Yale…
Astronomers Confirm The Existence of Galaxies With No Dark Matter
A Yale-led team of researchers is doubling down on its earlier finding of a galaxy with almost no dark matter. In 2018, the researchers published…
Biologists Close In On Cells That Drive Immune Response To Cancer
Immunotherapy, using the body’s own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells, is one of the most promising frontiers in cancer research, but many…
Yale Scientists Show Actin in Action
Actin is the second most abundant protein on earth, and scientists have extensively detailed the chemistry that enables it to string together into filaments that…
Scientists Develop Modular Approach to Engineering Immune Cells
Yale researchers have developed a new way to efficiently engineer immune cells, an advance which enhances the ability to fend off cancer and other diseases,…
Scientists Create ‘Universal Entangler’ for New Quantum Tech
One of the key concepts in quantum physics is entanglement, in which two or more quantum systems become so inextricably linked that their collective state…
New Project Seeks to Replicate the Cradle of Life
Yale professor of geology and geophysics Jun Korenaga will take part in a new, NASA-supported project that will examine the specific conditions that led to…
Dengue Immunity Provided Protection Against Zika Virus
When the Zika virus arrived in the Americas in early 2015, it struck hard, infecting 73% of people in one Brazilian community at the epicenter…
Scientists Reveal How a Fatty Diet Helped Develop Bigger Brains
Long before human ancestors began hunting large mammals for meat, a fatty diet provided them with the nutrition to develop bigger brains, posits a new…
New Approach Allows Deeper Understanding of Biological Signaling Systems
The second law of thermodynamics states that all closed systems tend towards disorder over time and maintain order through the expenditure of energy. In most…
Spectacular Hubble Image Shows a Galaxy That Lost Its Spiral Arms
A new study led by Yale University astronomers tells the story of a galaxy that ran out of gas. It’s a story as old as…
