A team in the Yale Electrical Engineering Department has successfully developed a microscopic device that imitates ion channels, which are structures in biological membranes that control ion flow. This device helps us better understand biological ion channels and has the ability to both desalinate and generate electricity from seawater.
Yale researchers have developed a new micro fuel cell technology that may be a viable replacement for conventional lithium ion battery power supplies. The micro-fabricated device developed by the Taylor Laboratory exploits bulk metallic glass materials in the construction of micro fuel cells.
Flying through the stars without ever leaving home has been made possible thanks to Google. Their new interactive site combines precise data from Yale’s Bright Star Catalog with stunning graphics to create a 3-D visualization of our galaxy.
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry Tara Chaplin finds that whether or not children exhibit emotional responses in line with gender stereotypes depends on context.
Yale professor George Mostow will be honored for his trailblazing career in geometry with the prestigious Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
Black carbon particles, which are a major component of soot, have been found to have a much greater contribution to global warming than previously thought. Yale professor Trude Storelvmo co-authored a recent study assessing the effects of these particles on climate change.
Existence is defined by limits. The limits of survival, of communication, even of scientific thinking — these are the boundaries that shape human understanding of
NASA space scientists found that flowers can germinate and grow in a microgravity environment. Their findings suggest that plants can grow on spaceships, and possibly the moon and Mars.
Humans might be superior animals when it comes to matters of intelligence or communication, but one thing we will never be able to do is fly like birds. Mathematical calculations show why our species is destined to be forever land-bound.
