Encouraging Excellence in Science
Four young researchers from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology recently won European Commission for Research (ERC) Consolidator Grants. This is a record number of winners in one year for the Technion in this track. The prestigious Consolidator Grants encourage excellence in science under the Horizon European Research and Development Framework Program, and are… Read More
An Inside View
New technology that allows for very high-resolution medical imaging (close to 10 µm) is expected to lead to the development of tiny and effective ultrasound systems and other medical applications. The innovative technology, SPADE, is based on research led by Professor Amir Rosenthal and Ph.D. student Yoav Hazan of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty… Read More
Two Technion researchers won prestigious Proof of Concept grants from the European Commission for Research (ERC)
Two Technion faculty members have won Proof of Concept (PoC) grants from the European Commission for Research (ERC). The prestigious grants, each worth €150,000, are intended to promote the application and commercialization of academic research, including the establishment of a start-up company. They are awarded only to researchers who have won an ERC grant in… Read More
Technion Researchers Honored
The grants are being awarded to the following faculty members: Dr. Ayala Shiber of the Faculty of Biology is exploring how RNA molecules in the cell direct proteins to fold to their native, functional state and avoid misfolding. She was awarded the ERC grant for her research on cellular mechanisms that protect proteins during synthesis… Read More

Breakthrough in Microscopy
In an article published in Nature Photonics, researchers from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology present a new approach to imaging evanescent waves that allows, among other things, tackling this challenge with the help of “nonlinear wave-mixing," a combination of two or more light beams that generate a new electromagnetic wave of a different color. This… Read More
Reinventing the Electrical Engineer
"Electrical engineering is a fascinating profession, don't let prejudice deter you". Dr. Dana Drachsler Cohen, new faculty member of the Andrew and Erena Viterby Faculty of Electrical Engineering, inspires female students in the field to believe in themselves. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering's website, named after Andrew and Erna Viterbi, features almost sixty active faculty… Read More
