‘Meta-Synergy’ for the Battle Against Cancer
Professor Yosi Shamay and his group at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology's Faculty of Biomedical Engineering have made major headway in a remarkable new approach to cancer treatment. Based on a new concept called “meta-synergy,” the group developed a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tool that makes it possible to find drug combinations that… Read More
Biology in Motion at Super-High Resolution
The research group of Professor Yoav Shechtman from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biomedical Engineering has developed groundbreaking technology enabling scientists to see dynamic processes in living cells. Their study was recently published in Nature Methods. Prof. Yoav Schectman Until now, high-resolution microscopy enabled researchers to observe sub-cellular structures such as… Read More
Prestigious Grant for Technion Researchers: Towards a Complete System for Storing Information on DNA
Researchers from the Technion have won the prestigious EIC Pathfinder grant from the European Union. The entire grant totals some 4 million Euros, of which 1.5 million Euros will be allocated to research done at the Technion. Prof. Eitan Yaakobi The research is led by Professor Eitan Yaakobi and Professor Zohar Yakhini, who are the… Read More
Atomic-scale spin-optical laser: new horizon for optoelectronics
Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a coherent and controllable spin-optical laser based on a single atomic layer. This discovery is enabled by coherent spin-dependent interactions between a single atomic layer and a laterally confined photonic spin lattice, the latter of which supports high-Q spin-valley states through the photonic Rashba-type… Read More
Fishing Energy from the Sea
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
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
