Breakthroughs, discoveries, and new technologies from the Technion.
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
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

With the easing of the lockdown rules, concerns are being sounded about a possible second wave of Covid-19. The second wave of the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918-20 was particularly devastating, as was the second wave of the Swine Flu epidemic in 2009-10. So what
The beautiful phenomenon allows for new and exciting research opportunities in the fields of Optics and Optofluidics Haifa, Israel July 1, 2020 – A team of researchers from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has observed branched flow of light for the very first time.
There is a connection between heart disease and cancer, a novel study has revealed. The findings, published in Circulation, could potentially help cardio-oncologists slow cancer progression and improve cancer outcomes. Researchers led by Professor Ami Aronheim, Professor Yuval Shaked, and Dr. Shimrit Avraham have determined
