Adding limestone to Mississippi River Basin farmlands acts as a major carbon sink, study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a discovery as broad and far-reaching as the Big Muddy itself, a new, Yale-led study says farmers along the Mississippi River Basin are storing more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the soil than they are emitting when they add limestone to their fields, an agricultural practice known as “liming.” It’s a finding that carries major implications for agricultural soil management in the American heartland and around the world — and points to more than a century of data showing the effectiveness of removin
Roaming black holes may tell the hidden history of galaxies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want to understand the origins of black holes, Yale astronomers say, you need to look beyond the centers of galaxies and start searching in the nooks and crannies. That’s where you’ll find the “wanderers” — black holes whose journeys may tell the story of how the first black holes formed. In a new study, astronomers Emma Jane Weller and Priyamvada Natarajan from Yale and Colin Burke from the University of North Texas found that black holes — which are normally located in the center of gal
From the start, the solar system chose fire over ice to build its first bodies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the solar system first took up the task of building solid bodies — such as planets, moons, and protoplanets — it basically had a choice between two ingredients. There were heat-forged chondrules, which were millimeter-sized bits of rock; and there was matrix, a fine-grained, cold dust loaded with water ice and organic molecules. And from the get-go, the solar system chose fire. In a new, Yale-led study, researchers provide the first geochemical evidence that within the first million years a
Then and now, ‘Tribute in Light’ pierced the night sky in remembrance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the dark days following the Sept. 11 attacks, a Yale alumnus helped the nation see a bit of light again. Richard Nash Gould ’68 ’72 M. Arch. co-created “Tribute in Light,” the now-iconic public art installation of two beams of light rising from lower Manhattan into the night sky. The light display — a cathartic, wordless expression of unity amid grief — debuted in March 2002, six months after the series of airplane hijackings that culminated in tragedy at the World Trade Center in New York Ci
TEMPEST collaboration will take on turbulence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yale is partnering with seven other U.S. research institutions to tackle one of the most frenetic phenomena in physics, and the universe — turbulence. On Aug. 26, the National Science Foundation announced a $30 million grant to fund TEMPEST (Transformative Explorations in Multi-Physics and Engineering of Scientific Turbulence), a science and technology center focused on understanding and controlling turbulence. TEMPEST, which will be based at Michigan State University, brings together physicists
