For the first time, the Minister of Science and Technology and representatives of the United Arab Emirates participated in the final event of the BizTEC Entrepreneurship Program at the Technion. Since the program’s founding in 2004, its graduates have raised more than $750 million. Dr….
Unique ‘Introduction to Practical Quantum Computing’ Summer School The first of its kind in Israel: Technion summer school program ‘Introduction to Practical Quantum Computing’ attracts over 570 registrations. Ph.D. student Tasneem Biadsy Technion opened Israel’s first summer school in practical quantum computing on Sunday, October
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
Researchers at Technion and the Hebrew University have developed an innovative technology for early detection of suicidal tendencies. Published in Scientific Reports, the technology is based on automatic text analysis of social network content Prof. Roi Reichart Suicide is a significant cause of death in
A team of students from the Technion and the University of Missouri won second place at MedHacks — a hackathon for developing medical technologies hosted by Johns Hopkins University. They were awarded for developing the Scan&Sound application, which detects strokes at early stages and alerts
Kira Radinsky ’08, Ph.D.’12, is a detective of sorts, but she’s not looking for light-fingered employees or cheating spouses. She’s seeking causalities and patterns that connect seemingly unrelated occurrences to spot the early warning signs of high-impact future events, including political riots and disease epidemics.
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
A mapping system developed at the Technion increases the independence of visually impaired pedestrians in urban spaces Technion Researchers have developed an innovative mapping system for blind pedestrians. 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
