A major renovation at Yale’s West Campus concluded this fall with the expansion of the Energy Sciences Institute (ESI) into consolidated space adjacent to the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage.

A Yale-led team of astronomers pioneers a new technique for observing the surface of stars, making it easier to detect Earth-like planets orbiting them.

The new findings from a multi-institutional research team reflect the increased potential of climate models for predicting complex environmental dynamics.

Yale’s Diana Qiu has won the Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering for her work in studying how matter absorbs light.

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.
