The more plastic we have, the bigger of an environmental problem we face. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professor Yiqi Yang is discovering new polymers to create better biodegradable plastics.
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, more than 100 billion neutrinos from the sun will pass through your fingertip. You’re not
A comparison of genetic and environmental correlations between twenty-nine diseases reveals unforeseen similarities that transform both the classification and potentially treatments of complex diseases.
Researchers at Rice, Durham, and North Carolina State have developed and tested molecular motors that, upon UV activation, drill holes through cell membranes and kill the targeted cells. Their research has the potential to lead to revolutionary new photodynamic treatments for diseases like cancer.
Researchers have linked massive pits in the Arctic seafloor to the global thawing that occurred the end of the last glacial period: a discovery that may have potential implications for modern climate change.
The documentary “Chasing Coral,” by director Jeff Orlowski, illustrates how rising temperatures are causing the destruction of coral reefs worldwide.
Sandy Chang, Associate Dean for Science Education, shares his journey in STEM and his strong belief in mentorship as the key to success. As a past alum of Yale College (and Yale Scientific Magazine), Chang is here to give back to his students.
Researchers at the Rockefeller Institute identified groups of gut bacteria that produce molecules capable of interacting with human cells.
Why do males in some species care for children that are not their own? A new Yale study explains the reasons behind these actions.
A molecule in your jam plays a role in the twisting of flower petals. Yale Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Vivian Irish, studies how a genetic mutation causes epidermal cells and flower organs to twist.
