From neutrinos to maps of the entire universe, Faculty of Arts and Sciences physicists and cosmologists are exploring the unseen in a quest to understand the most far-reaching scientific mysteries.

Five Yale Assistant Professors received Air Force Research Laboratory Young Investigator awards.

Yale physicist Laura Newburgh and her collaborators are honored for breakthroughs in the understanding of a mysterious phenomenon known as fast radio bursts.

Yale physicist Bonnie Fleming and her co-researchers investigate anomalies in experimental data for traces of a yet-to-be-discovered subatomic particle.

Wright Lab assistant professor David Moore, along with three colleagues from other institutions, recently proposed a novel idea of using trapped electrons and ions—technologies that are being developed as qubits for quantum computation—as ultra-sensitive particle detectors that may be able to enhance the search for the nature of dark matter, neutrinos, new forces, and more.

Yale physicists Baker and Gozar were cited, respectively, for leadership in constructing particle tracking instrumentation and seminal work on complex oxides.

In a Q&A, Yale’s John Wettlaufer, a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy, gives a behind-the-scenes look into the storied scientific tradition.

An assistant professor of physics at Yale, da Silva Neto investigates the realm of quantum materials and how they relate to the basic laws of physics.

Yale University is among the key partners of the new Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation, a multi-institutional effort supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that is focused on developing quantum simulation devices that can understand, and thereby exploit, the rich behavior of complex quantum systems.

Yale Physics is pleased to welcome 35 new graduate students, including 18 women, 17 men, and 7 students from underrepresented minorities (URM) to our department. This includes 12 international students from 6 countries. This class has already started making history with the highest percentage of women and URM students of any incoming Yale Physics class.
