    The Invisible Facemask

    27/11/2022
    הדגמה של השימוש במערכת החדשה. קרדיט: Wisdome Wearables

    Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a revolutionary invisible facemask to protect wearers against the transmission of COVID, MERS, influenza, and other respiratory viruses. Although conventional facemasks help protect against disease transmission, recent scientific literature shows that they also present adverse psychological and physiological effects. They reduce facial identification and… Read More

    Towards a Greener Future

    06/11/2022

    To a large extent, renewable energy sources depend on environmental conditions that are, over time, changing and uneven. These variables make it impossible to integrate them directly into the electricity grid, and necessitate an energy-storage system that mediates between them and the electricity grid. This presents one of the most significant challenges of our time:… Read More

    The Path to Healthy Aging

    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

    Formula Team’s First Autonomous Electric Car

    צוות פורמולה 2022 עם המכונית החדשה.

    On June 22, 2022, the Formula Technion team unveiled its new car. For the first time, in view of the upcoming summer 2022 motor racing season, the team presented an autonomous electric vehicle (A-EV). The Formula Technion project was established in 2012 in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and has grown steadily since. Today, the… Read More

    A Historic Moment in Space

    16/04/2022

    A historic moment: a lens was fabricated in space for the first time earlier this week, using innovative technology developed at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. The fluidic shaping method, developed by Prof. Moran Bercovici's research team, in collaboration with NASA, could revolutionize space optics by overcoming the current limitations due to the… Read More

    Encouraging Excellence in Science

    29/03/2022

    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

    World Braille Day

    04/01/2022

    Today, January 4th, is World Braille Day, marking Louis Braille's birthday. Although the Braille tactile writing system was invented about 200 years ago, there have been many technological challenges in adapting it to the computerized age. A recent breakthrough published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) heralds a new generation of… Read More

    Materials from the Future

    איור סכמטי של מערכת המציגה את אפקט האלקטרומומנטום. כאשר אלמנט פיאזואלקטרי אסימטרי נתון לגלים נכנסים (חץ כחול באיור) הוא מעביר חלק מהגל (חץ ירוק) ומחזיר חלק אחר (חץ אדום). באמצעות השדה החשמלי המופעל עליו (מעגל פתוח, צד ימין; מעגל סגור, צד שמאל) אפשר לשלוט בפאזה של הגל המוחזר, ושליטה זו שונה להחזרות מימין ולהחזרות משמאל.

    Who hasn’t sometimes wished for an invisibility cloak? When looking at an object covered by an invisibility cloak, one would see the things behind it, as if light were passing through it, rather than hitting it and bouncing back to the viewer’s eye. The object would thus be rendered invisible. Acoustic cloaking is similar, except… Read More

    Clear Vision for Optics

    02/12/2021
    מימין לשמאל : מור אלגריסי, פרופ' מורן ברקוביץ ועומר לוריה

    Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized optical components for a variety of applications including corrective lenses, augmented and virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging and astronomy. Common devices such as eyeglasses or… Read More

    Safer, More Affordable Desalinated Water

    14/10/2021

    Approximately 80% of drinking water in Israel is desalinated water, coming from the Mediterranean Sea. Now, scientists from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, the Wageningen University, and Wetsus (European center of excellence for sustainable water) in the Netherlands have developed a way to improve the quality of desalinated water, while reducing the costs… Read More
