Technion scientists have developed a novel method for rapid and accurate sensing of coronavirus without the need to rely on PCR amplification, a technique that makes millions or even billions of copies of DNA so that there is enough material to test. The new technique…
The intelligent nanotechnology is capable of rapidly detecting COVID-19 in exhaled breath and has “the potential to serve as a monitoring and epidemic control tool.” COVID-19 testing is a key step in gaining control over the spread of the pandemic. Current molecular COVID-19 tests entail
Technion researchers have developed a new method for predicting basketball player performance. It is based on analyzing a player’s past performance and pre-game interviews. A computational method developed at the Technion significantly improves the prediction of the basketball players’ performance. The study was led by

The study was carried out by Achituv Cohen, a doctoral student in the Transportation and Geo-Information Engineering
New research conducted by Prof. Itamar Kahn of the Technion’s Rappaport Faculty of Medicine in Israel and Prof. Nancy Ratner of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) demonstrates a potential new treatment for cognitive impairments that are associated with disruption in the brain fibers that
The Technion’s First Virtual Board of Governors Meeting Showcases the University’s Prowess The State of the Technion is strong, despite, or perhaps because of, the hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic. That was one of the key take-aways from the Technion Board of Governors Meeting
Israel’s Chemistry Team that was trained at the Technion has been awarded a gold medal, two silver medals and a bronze medal at the International Chemistry Olympiad, which recently took place online due to COVID-19. Over the past week, 240 young girls and boys from
In late March, the Technion came out with one of the first personal protective equipment (PPE) developments for medical teams treating the coronavirus on the frontlines — the “Maya” sticker. Now, the adhesive decal, which boosts the efficiency of surgical masks by 100%, has gone
Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new method for rapid, inexpensive analysis of blood samples. Its first application to be tested will be early detection of cancerous tumors. The innovative technology, described in Nature Communications, was developed by Prof. Tomer Shlomi and
Watch Dr. Amit Goffer, a Technion alumnus and one of Israel’s most inspiring entrepreneurs. Goffer, experienced a tragic accident confining him to a wheelchair and has since been developing alternative modes of transport to the traditional wheelchair. Goffer shares the stroy’s behind the development of
