HIV is impossible to treat, right? According to Yale researchers, not quite. New discoveries about the virus bring us closer to a cure than ever.
In the ongoing search for new cancer treatments, Yale Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Tarek Fahmy tackles an old question with new technology.
With the recent explosive levels of population growth, the human race must overcome a number of obstacles in order to survive. Researchers at Yale in a diverse array of fields have set their minds to the task of confronting the most pressing issues facing civilization.
Yale Professor Ronald Breaker is investigating and isolating regulatory mechanisms hidden in sections of RNA previously labeled as “junk.” His study of these mechanisms, called riboswitches, is yielding a better understanding of the evolutionary history of life on earth.
Professor Charles Morgan of the Yale School of Medicine finds new evidence that memories may be altered through exposure to misleading information.
The proposed WFIRST project will measure light emitting from distant supernovas to determine the history of the expansion of the universe. This project hopes to answer important questions about the nature of dark energy and the future of the universe.
Professor Gary Brudvig and his collaborators in the Yale Solar Group are making significant progress researching the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. By applying insights from natural photosynthesis to artificial processes, they are advancing the functionality of photoelectrochemical cells as potential alternative energy technologies.
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.
