In July 1932, young pathology resident Elizabeth M. Ramsey was performing a routine autopsy with a colleague at New Haven Hospital when she made an extraordinary discovery: an apparently normal human ...

Registration Opens March 31, 2026 | Dr. Andrew Robertson will explain how astronomers came to believe that dark matter exists, and how some gargantuan collisions of galaxy clusters provide some of the ...

Every year since Carnegie's founding in 1902, the institution has published a selection of its discoveries in an annual Year Book. Over time, this annual report evolved from a complete record of ...

Gene inactivation has become the gold standard for determining gene function in the mouse. Many genes inactivated in the germ line cause early lethality that precludes phenotypic assessment at a later ...

We present a revised distance to the nearby galaxy NGC 6822 using a new multi-band fit to both previously published and new optical, near-, and mid-infrared data for Cepheid variables. The new data ...

All plants synthesize basic metabolites needed for survival (primary metabolism), but different taxa produce distinct metabolites that are specialized for specific environmental interactions ...

Earth's atmospheric CO2 concentration (c(a)) for the Phanerozoic Eon is estimated from proxies and geochemical carbon cycle models. Most estimates come with large, sometimes unbounded uncertainty.

We've collected several successful Carnegie Fellowship applications, which have been generously made available by previous postdoctoral fellows. Please note that these are only meant as examples, and ...

Raman spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction methods have been used to characterize a novel phase of nitrogen which forms on compression from ambient pressure at low temperatures. The new,lambda, ...
