A new book shares an exciting story of the history of STEM at Yale.
A historical record of monsoon depressions shows that a certain type of monsoon storm is on the decline. Yale postdoctorate fellow Naftali Cohen explores this claim with professor William Boos, providing new insight and revising our understanding of how our climate works.
A simple code dictates how DNA is translated into proteins in all living things. Scientists have long thought of these translations as universal, but lately, a few exceptions have come to light. Now, researchers at Yale are probing how and why the genetic code might change.
Time travel has sparked imaginations for decades — but is it really possible? Many physicists believe so. Here is how we could do it.
When doctors prescribe antibiotics, they always remind us to take the full course. But what happens if we forget? Every missed dose contributes to global antibiotic resistance.
People have accepted tears of joy as commonplace for years, but Yale postdoctoral associate Oriana Aragón seeks to understand the science behind them.
Throughout her time at Yale, mechanical engineering major Genevieve Fowler ’16 has not only made her technological impact on the engineering world, but has exemplified the spirit of enthusiasm and creativity that is needed to be a successful STEM student.
Science doesn’t like to stand still. Every month, every week, every day, researchers find ways to advance knowledge. More often than not, a new development
A new form of digital philanthropy is using a computer’s unused processing power to help support research on malaria, AIDS and cancer. Yale alum Matthew Blumberg (YC ‘90) is the founder of a nonprofit organization that allows people to volunteer their spare computing power to provide supercomputing resources for scientific research.
Researchers at Duke University have developed a lab-grown model of human skeletal muscle that not only contracts in response to electrical stimuli, but also mimics human muscle in its response to a variety of drugs. The study has important implications for safer preclinical trials.
