    When Archaeology Meets the Exact Sciences

    02/02/2023

    On Wednesday, January 18, the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Haifa held a scholarly conference as part of a first-ever collaboration on the subject of technology and science in the study of archaeology and maritime cultures. The research collaboration, which has already begun at both universities, will propel the study… Read More

    5 ERC Consolidator Grants Awarded to Technion Researchers

    01/02/2023

    Five Technion researchers have been awarded the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) for pioneering projects in their respective disciplines. The ERC Consolidator grant aims to help excellent scientists, who have 7 to 12 years' experience after completing their PhDs, strengthen their research teams and pursue their most promising ideas. Each grant is for up to… Read More

    Producing ‘green’ energy — literally — from living plant ‘bio-solar cells’

    04/01/2023

    (Text by the American Chemical Society.) Though plants can serve as a source of food, oxygen and décor, they’re not often considered to be a good source of electricity. But by collecting electrons naturally transported within plant cells, scientists can generate electricity as part of a “green,” biological solar cell. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied… Read More

    Technion Researchers Discover Unique Peptides with Anti-Cancer Potential

    08/11/2022
    באיור: בתחילת התהליך נקשרים הפפטידים המעגליים לשרשרת האוביקוויטין; כתוצאה מכך נפגע מנגנון תיקון ה-DNA; ובסופו של דבר עוברים תאי הסרטן תהליך של מוות תאי (אפופטוזיס)

    A new paper published in Nature Communications presents a study on unique peptides with anti-cancer potential. The study was led by Professor Ashraf Brik and post-doctoral fellows Dr. Ganga B. Vamisetti and Dr. Abbishek Saha from the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, along with Professor Nabieh… Read More

    The Path to Healthy Aging

    03/11/2022
    פרופ' שי שן-אור מהפקולטה לרפואה ע"ש רפפורט, ד"ר יוסי מרובקה מהפקולטה להנדסת ביוטכנולוגיה ומזון וד"ר דביר ארן מהפקולטה לביולוגיה

    Life expectancy is consistently increasing thanks to progress in health care, science, and technology. However, longer lives have not meant an improved quality of life for the elderly. In response to this important global challenge, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has gathered researchers from different faculties in order to establish the Healthy Aging… Read More

    Center for Sustainable Processes & Catalysis

    12/07/2022

    The global population is rapidly growing; on average, 2.5 new inhabitants are born each second. Indeed, it is estimated that by 2050, our planet will be inhabited by more than 10 billion people. To maintain and improve quality of life standards on a global scale while meeting the needs of an expanding world population, the… Read More

    Fishing Energy from the Sea

    29/12/2021

    Electricity from the Sea: Researchers from the Technion have developed a new method that harvests an electrical current directly from seaweed in an environmentally friendly and efficient fashion. The idea, which came to doctoral student Yaniv Shlosberg while he was on the beach, has been developed by a consortium of researchers from three Technion Faculties… Read More

    Decades-Old Mystery Solved

    14/12/2021

    Catalysis is responsible for 95% of industrial chemical processes, and directly affects more than 1/3 of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP). What is catalysis? It is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction; “helping it” - achieved by means of a catalyst – a “starter”. The catalyst is not consumed by… Read More

    Inhibiting Free Radicals

    15/11/2021

    Researchers at the Technion – Israel institute of Technology, in collaboration with researchers from CNRS, recently published findings about the development of an artificial molecule that may inhibit the development of Alzheimer's disease. The molecule breaks down the toxic chemical complex Cu–Aβ, thus inhibiting the cell death that is thought to be related to Alzheimer’s.… Read More

    Emergency Pathway Saves Cells with Protein Damage

    09/11/2021
    פרופ' מיכאל גליקמן (משמאל) וד"ר אינדרג'יט סהו מהפקולטה לביולוגיה בטכניון. בין השניים תלוי ציור של ד"ר סהו ובו מוצג פרח הכדנית.

    An international research team headed by Technion scientists has found an alternative manner for eliminating damaged proteins when the cells are impaired by “oxygen radicals,” as can happen in failing human hearts where there is poor cell respiration and cells become oxygen depleted, or suffer “hypoxia,” because of poor oxygen uptake. Significantly, the researchers discovered… Read More
