Yale researchers have developed a procedure that can replicate surface structures at the atomic scale - a breakthrough that could lead to better catalysts,...
Tiny DNA Modification Has Big Impact on Deadly Tumors
A simple modification of a DNA base in small areas of the genome may explain why glioblastoma tumors are so deadly, researchers at Yale and...
Dinosaurs Put All Colored Birds’ Eggs in One Basket, Evolutionarily Speaking
A new study says the colors found in modern birds’ eggs did not evolve independently, as previously thought, but evolved instead from dinosaurs. According to...
Researchers Explain How LSD Changes Perception
Psychedelic drugs such as LSD have a profound impact on human consciousness, particularly perception. Researchers at Yale and the University of Zurich provide new...
Some Planetary Systems Just Aren’t into Heavy Metal
Small planetary systems with multiple planets are not fans of heavy metal — think iron, not Iron Maiden — according to a new Yale...
A Closer Look at Antibiotic Resistant Genes in the Air
While the issue of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in water has long been studied, relatively little attention has been paid to airborne ARGs, despite...
