Technion scientists have developed a pioneering technology that uses harmless live bacteria to produce therapeutic drugs directly inside the body. Delivered via a painless microneedle patch, the bacteria act as tiny drug factories, improving bioavailability and potentially reducing treatment costs and repeated dosing.
Technion researchers have developed SafeWax, a bio-inspired spray coating that forms a thin, biodegradable, water-repellent layer on crops. This innovative technology can reduce the need for chemical pesticides by more than 50%, protect plants from disease and heat stress, and help lower agriculture’s environmental footprint.
World champion windsurfer Linoy Geva has transitioned her discipline and perseverance into academic excellence at Technion. Studying in two elite programs, she combines elite sport spirit with rigorous computer science and leadership training — inspiring peers and promoting women in engineering.
Technion has inaugurated a newly upgraded VLSI Laboratory for chip design with a $1 million investment from Apple, Intel and NVIDIA. The facility will support advanced research in integrated circuits, AI-focused hardware and energy-efficient systems while strengthening collaboration between academia and industry.
A new theoretical breakthrough is reshaping how scientists control heat. By enabling unprecedented manipulation of heat conduction, this research opens the door to smarter thermal management across energy, engineering, and advanced materials.
New Technion research will advance a solution to strokes caused by a blockage of a major brain artery — known as a large vessel occlusion (LVO) — which are medical emergencies. If treatment is delayed, the consequences can be devastating: severe brain damage, disability, or death.
Last week, the Technion marked 25 years since the invention of the portable storage device – the Disk On Key – in a special event with Technion alumnus Dov Moran, the inventor of the USB flash drive.
