Technion researchers have developed accurate radiation sources that are expected to lead to breakthroughs in medical imaging and other areas Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed precise radiation sources that may replace the expensive and cumbersome facilities currently used for
Technion researchers develop a smart light source based on a single atomic layer of matter. The achievement provides a platform for the development of new quantum applications for computing and communication Prof. Erez Hasman Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed
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
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
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
In a big step forward toward making BIO-photoelectrochemical cells (BIOcells) a mainstream clean energy source in the future, researchers from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have overcome an efficiency hurdle by successfully combining the power of efficient light absorption
