After decades of research, scientists describe biological clocks molecularly independent of the classical circadian clock.
The origins of insects, spiders, scorpions, crustaceans, and their relatives date to more than 500 million years ago, a period termed the Cambrian Explosion, when most of the modern groups of arthropods first occurred. A new study shows that rates of arthropod evolution during this period were 4 to 5 times faster than they are today.
Novel technique uses computers, rather than scalpels, to identify specific genes related to kidney disease.
A team consisting of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is working to develop a
Adam Marcus, Daniel Spielman, and Nikhil Srivastava have proven the 54-year-old mathematical problem known as the Kadison-Singer Conjecture, which holds important consequences for the field of interlacing families as well as the mathematical foundations of quantum physics.
In a collaborative study, researchers from several Yale departments have developed small synthetic molecules that limit damage to the heart from ischemia, which could potentially be developed into drugs to be used in a surgical or therapeutic setting.
The brain is one of the least well understood of the organs in our bodies, and historically we have only had indirect methods available to measure neural activity. However, professors at the Yale School of Medicine have recently designed a new neural probe which directly measures and images brain activity using light.
Four Yale Physicists who have recently won awards remark on their achievements, how they became interested in research, and advice they would give to undergraduates considering research in the physical sciences.
In discovering an approach to creating regenerative sensors, Mark Reed, Yale Professor of Electrical Engineering, has improved the efficacy and precision of biosensors in detecting biomarkers for cancer and other diseases.
Professor Joan A. Steitz has been selected to receive the 2013 Grande Médaille from the French Academy of Sciences.
