In a materials engineering lab at Harvard University, researchers have demonstrated the ability for ionic conductors to be viable candidates for potential biomedical advances.
Researchers at Yale have discovered a connection between hunger control and immune system function, creating the potential for a wide array of further studies involving immune system enhancement.
Results from a 2012 survey by the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE) indicate that New Haven residents of under-resourced neighborhoods are demonstrating healthier habits than in the past.
Described by Professor Harlan Krumholz, the post-hospital syndrome is a 30-day time of vulnerability during which recently released patients experience a higher risk of an array of health issues.
In January, researchers with Planet Hunters confirmed with 99.9 percent confidence the discovery of a Jupiter-sized planet called PH2b orbiting within the “habitable zone” of
In a new correlation study, researchers in Professor Picciotto’s lab showed that individuals afflicted with depression have higher levels of acetylcholine in their brains. The researchers used mice to demonstrate the complexity of the pathways involved in depression, and their findings could give rise to more effective antidepressants.
Yale Chemistry Professor Jonathan Ellman has developed a method for precisely controlling the three-dimensional structure of compounds during synthesis, opening the door to hundreds of new drug candidates.
The process of how the body stores fat is often thought to be well-studied and characterized. However, Professor Tobias Walther’s research has led to the discovery that there are two different types of lipid droplets in the body that feature dramatic differences and ultimately suggest different treatment options for associated diseases.
The Earth is Not So ‘Dead’: Yale researchers in the Geology & Geophysics Department give new insight into the extensive interaction between interior layers of the Earth.
Researchers from Yale University led by Professor Hong Tang have successfully embedded extremely sensitive single-photon detectors on nanophotonic circuits. The advantages of the new single-photon detector include increased detection efficiency, direct integration on the chip, count rates in the gigahertz speed, high temporal resolution, and negligible dark counts.
