A Yale professor is one of a growing number of scientists studying the science of swarms. These researchers hope that by understanding how animals swarm, they can inform such far flung disciplines as robotics, computer design, and physics.
From ideas to reality, students at Yale are changing the way small intestine transplant procedures are performed.
Yale Professor Wenjun Hu is working to develop Strata, a method for encoding barcodes much like QR codes, but with greater flexibility for observers without ideal viewing conditions.
Ignoring discouragement, Christine Cunningham (YC ’91) moved on from being a biology major to a life in science education. Through her brainchild Engineering is Elementary, she has shown the world the power of teaching engineering to elementary students.
Yetunde Meroe ’16 speaks about her summer internship at the Yale Farm and her joint passions for chemical engineering, social outreach, and food and soil science.
The great unknown beckons, as modern technology and the space industry’s rise to prominence offer a new paradigm in exploration. From asteroid mining to X PRIZE, rockets are just the beginning.
In a materials engineering lab at Harvard University, researchers have demonstrated the ability for ionic conductors to be viable candidates for potential biomedical advances.
Ice cream has been highly regarded as a dessert staple, but its chemistry is equally appealing. Its unique properties, including a propensity for crystal formation, make the substance of interest in conjunction with the various means that can be used to cool it.
One Yale alumnus has proved you can do it all. Joey Brink, a gifted carillon player and engineer, has managed to integrate his two passions for music and design throughout his career.
In a breakthrough for the field of quantum computing, researchers have successfully altered a single electron’s spin.
