A decrease in tropical forest biomass stemming from changes in climate may lead to increased carbon emissions that could accelerate global warming, according to a new study co-authored by YSE postdoctoral associate Maria del Rosario Uribe and Paulo Brando, associate professor of ecosystem carbon capture.
Yale dermatologists are playing a key role in testing a new treatment for an often-disfiguring group of skin diseases that develop in children.
Wright Lab associate professor of physics David Moore and his collaborators Daniel Carney have proposed mechanical quantum sensor technologies to make ultra-sensitive measurements that can detect elusive particles known as neutrinos.
Yale researchers have found that the ability of fish in temperate and polar ecosystems to move between shallow and deep water triggers species diversification.
Kinases are essential for cell signaling. A new study matches hundreds of kinases to their targets, enabling a deeper understanding of biological processes.
Discovery of the pheromone revealed new information about how the flies communicate — which people could use to limit their populations.
Without clocks or modern tools, ancient Mexicans watched the sun to maintain a farming calendar that precisely tracked seasons and even adjusted for leap years.
For decades, scientists have been stumped by the signals plants send themselves to initiate photosynthesis, the process of turning sunlight into sugars. UC Riverside researchers have now decoded those previously opaque signals.
Aremote fear memory is a memory of traumatic events that occurred in the distant past — a few months to decades ago. A University of California, Riverside, mouse study published in Nature Neuroscience has now spelled out the fundamental mechanisms by which the brain consolidates remote fear memories.
University of California, Riverside, scientists have moved a step closer to finding a use for the hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste produced every year that often winds up clogging streams and rivers and polluting our oceans.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently reached a new milestone in its nearly 30-year mission of helping scientists measure the expansion rate of the universe.
Chinese researchers recently published a study indicating that moderate egg consumption can help boost heart health.
A recent study that was carried out by genetics specialists Panagiotis I. Sergounioti, Ewan Birney and Tomas Fitzgerald has shed light on the significant disparities that exist between the genetics of rare diseases and those of common diseases.
A study led by Northern Arizona University offers new evidence that a common framework to sort bacteria into two lifestyles doesn’t easily apply to bacteria living in wild soil.
Accurate climate models play a critical role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers throughout the world as they consider ways to slow the deadly effects of a warming planet and to adapt to changes already in progress.
A team of researchers has highlighted human-wildlife conflict as one of the globe’s most pressing human development and conservation dilemmas.
Leveraging supercomputing power, University of Arizona researchers created simulations of millions of computer-generated "universes" to test astrophysical predictions that have eluded astronomical observations.
UArizona Heath Sciences researchers developed one of the most accurate COVID-19 antibody tests available and now have shown antibodies persist for months after infection, providing long-term immunity.
A comprehensive analysis of covalently closed circular RNA across ecosystems reveals that viroids infect a diverse collection of host species, including those that aren't plants. The study also discovers other types of ribozyme activity and functional properties in these molecules.
In the marine fossil record, Raup and Sepkoski identified five distinct periods of time when there was a significant amount of species loss.
