The Technion mourns the passing of Distinguished Professor Jacob Ziv, one of the most renowned scientists in the field of information theory, who passed away on March 25, at the age of 91. Prof. Ziv, Technion Alumnus and one of the greatest researchers in the history of the Technion, joined the Andrew and Erna Viterbi… Read More
Two-Photon Absorption into a Quantum Condensate
An experimental achievement by researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in the field of quantum condensation may accelerate research in quantum information processing and developments in security, biological sensing, wireless communication, and more. Published recently in Optica, the research was led by doctoral student Nadav Landau and Professor Alex Hayat from the… Read More
Technion Makes VCSELs
Researchers from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, together with the staff of the Micro and Nano Fabrication Unit (MNFU) at the Sara and Moshe Zisapel Nanoelectronics Center, have developed unique vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, known as VCSELs, to be used… Read More
Worlds of Hardware
The Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with the semiconductor industry, recently held an event titled “Worlds of Hardware.” The aim of the event was to provide students better exposure to hardware engineering. Speakers explained how hardware engineering is rapidly changing and evolving, and gave examples of the kind… Read More
2D interaction takes researchers by surprise
Researchers from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have presented the first experimental observation of Cherenkov radiation confined in two dimensions. The results surprised the researchers when a new record in electron-radiation coupling strength was achieved, and the quantum properties of the… Read More
Computers Reimagined
Since they became part of our lives some 80 years ago, computers have become faster and smaller, but their basic architecture hasn’t changed. There’s still one part that stores information – that’s the memory (e.g., RAM, hard drive), and another part that processes information – that’s the CPU or processor. Now Associate Professor Shahar Kvatinsky… Read More
Dr. AI, What’s My Diagnosis?
One in nine women in the developed world will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life. The prevalence of breast cancer is increasing, an effect caused in part by the modern lifestyle and increased lifespans. Thankfully, treatments are becoming more efficient and more personalized. However, what isn’t increasing – and is… Read More
Designing and Programming Living Computers
Bringing together concepts from electrical engineering and bioengineering tools, Technion and MIT scientists collaborated to produce cells engineered to compute sophisticated functions – “biocomputers” of sorts. Graduate students and researchers from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Professor Ramez Daniel's Laboratory for Synthetic Biology & Bioelectronics worked together with Professor Ron Weiss from the Massachusetts… Read More
The Path to Healthy Aging
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
