Hebrew University researchers may have developed technology that will make computers and other optic communication devices run 100 times faster. “In the world of hi-tech advances, this is game-changing technology,” the lead researcher stated.

Israel’s Space Agency (ISA) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) announced on Tuesday that they were joining forces to protect astronauts in space from radiation exposure, tapping into technology developed by Israeli company StemRad for a radiation protection vest it created, the AstroRad, set to be tested in deep space.

A new Tel Aviv University study addresses the challenges of nanoparticle-based cancer-targeting strategies. It also suggests ways of refocusing the collaborative work of cancer researchers and clinicians to move the field forward from "the bench" to the patients.

Dr. Yevgeny Solomonov, head of the surgical department at the Ziv Medical Center in Safed, used advanced technology to freeze liver cancer metastasis using liquid nitrogen as part of an operation in a patient with secondary cancer - liver metastasis from a cancerous colon source.

A new medical procedure using "nano" eye drops could help millions by providing a simple alternative to laser correction, glasses and contact lenses, according to a recent study by Israeli researchers.

The biggest challenge in chemistry today is creating tailor-made catalysts and a group of young chemistry researchers has won a competitive grant of NIS 10 million from the Israel Science Foundation to create a catalyst that will transform CO2 into liquid fuel.

Israeli scientists recently announced that they have discovered a breakthrough method to identify critical molecular biomarkers of preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication that can interfere with blood flow to the placenta and possibly to the fetus, leading to low birth weight, prematurity, and sometimes even death.

Common Smut, Tip Blight, Downy Mildew, and Phytophthora root rot. If you were an onion, maize, tomato or bell pepper farmer, you’d be alarmed as these are the names of just some of the more common diseases and deficiencies that can affect these agricultural crops.

Six “astronauts” have entered a structure designed by Technion students in order to simulate life on Mars. The building was erected near the town of Mitzpeh Ramon as a first step in the establishment of a space simulation center.

How biological membranes - such as the plasma membrane of animal cells or the inner membrane of bacteria

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say they have developed low-cost infrared sensors that can be used to create the world’s thinnest night-vision glasses as well as revolutionize smartphones and self-driving cars.

Many animals use venom to protect themselves from predators and to catch prey. Some, like jellyfish, have tentacles, while others, like bees and snakes, use stingers and fangs to inject their prey with venomous toxins.
