Yale researchers have found that climate-induced changes to atmospheric rivers could drastically increase extreme precipitation in some parts of the world.

Yale neuroscientist Damon Clark explores how animals extract information and make decisions from visual patterns, and what that can teach us about the mind.

Octopus tentacles can move in many directions, but also form stiff joint-like structures for more precise movements. Caterpillars can travel by using inchworm movements, as well as coil up and propel themselves away from predators. Such capabilities allow organisms to thrive in the natural, unstructured world. Creating robots with that kind of fluidity of movement, though, has been a challenge.

Pahlavan, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, is an expert in the field of fluid dynamics and soft matter physics.

Ocean health experts Dr. Ellen Thomas and Dr. Catherine V. Davis walk us through a consequence of climate change impacting marine ecosystems and human livelihoods.

For the first time, astronomers have observed a cosmic process that offers new insights into the life cycle of galaxies and the structures within them.

A member of the Yale faculty since 1994, Eric Altman is an innovative, cross-disciplinary scholar and a leader in the field of chemical engineering.

Mark A. Reed, the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Electrical Engineering & Applied Physics, and integral member of the SEAS community for three decades, passed away peacefully in his home on May 5, 2021, at the age of 66.

Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In a new study from the lab of Aaron Dollar, professor of mechanical engineering & materials science & computer science, researchers took a non-traditional approach to creating a new design for robotic hands.

Tso-Ping (T.P.) Ma, the Raymond J. Wean Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics and pillar of the SEAS community for nearly 50 years, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2021, at the age of 75, after a brief illness.
