Scholars, students, and thought leaders from across the Yale community next week will engage with partners from across the region, the U.S ., and the world to explore solutions to the climate crisis during a summit at the Yale Club of New York City.
Professor Arun Natarajan of Yale is among a team of researchers tapped by the Army Research Office to lead the development of low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) systems that can rapidly sense, identify and locate sources of electromagnetic signals in contested environments. Backed by $9 million over the next six years, the academic-industry partnership will work to provide the U.S. military
In 2024, continuous glucose monitoring devices hit the shelves for over-the-counter consumer use. Historically, these devices were prescribed for people with type 1 diabetes and, more recently, for those with type 2 diabetes to monitor their glucose levels and adjust insulin dosage. Now, the devices are generating interest in people with prediabetes, obesity, or other conditions, including otherwi
A new clinical trial led by Jesse Cedarbaum, MD, professor of neurology, and David Hafler, MD , William S. and Lois Stiles Edgerly Professor of Neurology, is the first such study to test whether a drug can slow or prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease in people at risk.
Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.
Visual artists can consult a digital color wheel to test relationships between different shades. Audio engineers can alter soundwave frequencies to create complex tones and harmonies. But no digital tools exist that can predict how people will perceive the blend of scents wafting from a steaming cup of coffee or a freshly baked apple pie.
Flood risk in Grasmere (Cumbria) may be considerably greater than short-term observations suggest, according to an award-winning student research project from Lancaster University.

A new report for California policymakers assesses current flood modeling practices and offers eight recommendations to improve how mitigation infrastructure is reflected in the catastrophe models that are used to set insurance prices.

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface
