Scientists working under Hugh Taylor, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Science and the section chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Yale School of Medicine, have come one step closer to elucidating the science behind the dangerous side effects of DES.
Instead of boarding the usual Blue Line that faithfully treks up to Science Hill’s research laboratories, future chemistry, biology, and physics majors at Yale may find themselves boarding trains heading toward Yale’s newest research complex: West Campus.
A collaboration led by Yale professors Rob Schoelkopf, Michel Devoret, and Steven Girvin is developing a method of communication between qubits, a “quantum bus,” which could be extended to systems involving more qubits working at greater distances.
The neurobiological substrates of memory and emotion have eluded neuroscientists for decades, but Yale’s researchers are shedding light on the mechanisms by which our brains remember by exploring emotional memory processing in rats.
The lab of Dr. Alanna Schepartz, Milton Harris ’29 is changing how researchers study proteins by pioneering research into the design and synthesis of three classes of molecules: miniature proteins, ß-peptide foldamers, and proto-fluorescent probes.
Dr. Frank Keil and Dr. Karen Wynn have shown that infants exhibit certain patterns of learning, including the ability to distinguish between intentional and non-intentional actors and their capabilities.
Instead of their fellow Homo sapiens, Yale professor Antónia Monteiro and researcher Patricia Brennan study the courtship behaviors of butterflies and ducks, and their work has been featured in several programs such as PBS’s “Nature”.
Today, science and faith seem to be disparate, and sometimes warring concepts. Four basic tenets of spirituality must be reconciled with the scientific method before the two can coexist in a single system.
Last year, a team led by Professor Craig Crews of Departments of Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology, Pharmacology, and Chemistry) stumbled onto an herb that could potentially be of use in treating Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).
Sustainable design, aimed at minimizing energy consumption, using energy efficiently, maximizing renewable energy production, and reducing carbon emissions, is being applied to buildings at Yale, including the Malone Center and the new Kroon Hall.
