The Hacking Health @ Yale event in October brought students and professionals together to produce solutions for current issues in healthcare.
Soot formation during combustion is a highly important process, both in terms of safety in space and in terms of pollution back on Earth. A team of Yale engineers has been invited by NASA to perform combustion experiments in space to develop mathematical models of this process.
The world is a beautiful mess of visual information. Yale Professor Steven Zucker and his research group recently announced findings that unite mathematics, neurobiology, and psychology to make sense of how the brain makes sense of it all.
Professor Walter Jetz recently received a boost in NSF funding for projects integrating the global distribution of species with their placement on the tree of life.
Yale astronomers recently acquired the operational rights to the MOST satellite in a project to make the detection of exoplanets more precise. Greater precision will further scientists’ quest to find Earth-like planets beyond our solar system.
Tim Newhouse, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, plans to uses neuroactive molecules from natural products to probe the mysterious mechanisms of memory and cognition in the brain.
A new robotic hand designed in part by Yale scientists has given engineers a firmer-than-ever grasp on the future of public-use robots. Featuring underactuation and a minimalistic design, the i-HY hand is sturdy, inexpensive and adaptable for real-world functions.
“A Personal Tribute”
A remembrance is given to Dr. Sherwin Nuland, who died at 83 on March 3, 2014. Nuland was a surgeon, writer, and bioethicist who taught the freshman seminar History of Scientific Medicine in Yale College.
Yale Researcher Shangqin Guo finds that speeding up cells’ cycles increases the rate at which they reprogram to stem cells.
A new study led by doctoral student Karen Dannemiller correlates low fungal diversity with an increased likelihood for asthma development in children.
