Prof. Shulamit Levenberg and her team in the Biomedical Engineering Department have pioneered research that could make it easier for humans to cultivate tissue, Technion UK stated in a press release on
All Eyes Are on Stem Cells
Collaboration between two laboratories at the Technion has yielded a pair of groundbreaking articles that shed light on mechanisms of corneal renewal and morbidity. Can stem cells be identified and monitored in mature tissue? How do our organs cope with both the need for frequent
Israeli scientists show they can ‘shrink’ optical technology by 1,000 times
Trapping and observing light in super-thin materials, Technion researchers say their work may pave way for new generation of tiny light-powered tech Light in single layer materials, as captured by researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (Prof. Ido Kaminer and his research team) Israeli
Israeli Startup Produces Vegan Milk From Cow’s Milk
Israeli food-tech startup Imagindairy, co-founded by a Technion graduate, has developed a precision fermentation process that creates vegan milk with the same proteins, texture and taste as cow’s milk — a new cruelty-free dairy alternative.
Machine learning paves the way for broad-spectrum antivirals
When you have strep throat, you’re prescribed an antibiotic, but with a virus, there’s not much you can do. Now, Technion and Ben Gurion University scientists use machine-learning to create broad-spectrum antiviral drugs. Unlike antibiotics, antiviral drugs are typically designed to target one virus. This
Shooting for the stars!
Two new asteroids discovered by Technion student Aseel Nama will be named after her. Nama’s discovery was part of NASA’s asteroid-hunting campaign. “I really wanted to take part in this campaign, which is a kind of competition, but NASA insisted that I recruit a team
