Researchers from around the world will gather at Yale this summer for the 4th International Conference on Packing Problems.

Researchers have found that liquid has structure in certain circumstances, and that this structure significantly influences the mysterious and complex formation of metallic glasses.

A new computational model clarifies the structure and mechanics of soft, shape-changing cells, potentially giving scientists a better understanding of cancerous tumor growth, wound healing, and embryonic development.

Corey O’Hern, associate professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, physics, and applied physics, is organizing a two-week summer program, “Jamming in Biological Systems.”

The program takes place August 6-17 at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences (KITS) in Beijing, China. 

One of things Corey O’Hern emphasizes to his students is that when they’re working on a problem, they’re doing it as a team.

For his work on how sediment moves, Corey O’Hern, associate professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, physics, and applied physics, has been awarded a Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

A new Yale study shows that the structures of the three major classes of proteins are surprisingly similar.

Corey O’Hern, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Physics, Applied Physics & Graduate Program in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, has been elected a 2017 Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS).  

The science of protein design seeks to develop new protein-based materials that do not exist in nature, and shows great promise for new vaccines, energy production and storage, and other applications.

Taking a simpler approach to a complex problem, Yale researchers have an answer for why large grains move more easily than smaller ones when driven by fluid flow along a riverbed — a question that has confounded scientists for decades.
