On 9 October, astronomers observed GRB 221009A—the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded. Remarkably, Technion physicists Professors Arnon Dar and Shlomo Dado had just published a paper predicting such an event’s energy and characteristics. Their “cannonball model” links gamma-ray bursts and cosmic rays, offering new insights into these rare cosmic phenomena.
Technion researchers have developed CarGrow, a red algae-based microgel that prevents shrinkage in 3D-printed tissues for transplantation. Its transparent structure allows real-time monitoring of tissue growth, improving the reliability of bioprinted transplants.
Technion and MIT scientists have engineered bacterial cells to function as living computers by integrating synthetic gene circuits that mimic neural networks. These programmable cells can perform logic operations and respond to environmental stimuli, offering promising applications in biomanufacturing and targeted therapies.
Technion researchers have developed an antibiotic cocktail that effectively prevents resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. This innovative approach could enhance long-term treatment efficacy and combat the rise of superbugs.
Technion engineers lab-grown muscle tissue that absorbs excess sugar, reducing blood glucose in diabetic mice and opening doors to new diabetes treatments.
Precision dosing invention gets drugs just to affected cells and not whole body; already tested on mice with inhibitor drugs; inventors also aiming at chemo and other treatments. By NATHAN JEFFAY (Nathan Jeffay is The Times of Israel’s health and science correspondent) Scientists say that new Israeli

The Formula Student competition in Europe this summer is a platform for new technological developments. The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Formula racecar team unveiled the first-ever autonomous electric vehicle in the team’s history since 2012. They designed and built it for the Formula Student International Design
Technion improved by 11 places compared to last year’s ranking Haifa, Israel – August 15, 2022 –The Technion was ranked in 83rd place on the list of the world’s top 100 universities according to the Shanghai Ranking, the foremost index in the world for ranking
With an eye toward sustainable solutions to the global energy challenge, a Technion research team has created a proof-of-concept for a rechargeable silicon (Si) battery. Rechargeable batteries are particularly necessary for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, which currently relies on Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). LIBs, however,
