    A Once-in-500-Year Event

    16/11/2022

    On October 9, the most energetic gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever measured was observed. The burst, which occurred 2.4 billion light-years from Earth, was documented as GRB 221009A. In an amazing coincidence, an article predicting the maximum energy of GRBs written by researchers at the Faculty of Physics at the Technion- Israel Institute of Technology was… Read More

    A New Way to Create Entangled Photons

    18/10/2022

    One of the first discoveries of quantum physics is that light is made up of particles called photons. Most of the light beams in everyday life contain a large number of photons, but there are interesting applications based on weak light beams. Quantum communication is based on the transfer of data using single photons, when… Read More

    Celebrating 3 Israel Prizes

    05/05/2022

    Tonight, on Israel's Independence Day, three Technion professors will receive the prestigious Israel Prize, an unprecedented number: Prof. Emeritus Joshua Zak of the Faculty of Physics will be awarded for Physics and Chemistry Research; Prof. Emeritus Yoram Palti of the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine will receive the award in the field of… Read More

    Technion’s Nano Bible Heading to Space

    16/03/2022

    The Nano Bible is the smallest, most innovative copy of the Bible. Technion scientists engraved the 1.2 million letters of the Bible on a gold-plated layer of silicon (on a surface the size of a grain of sugar) by means of a focused ion beam Astronaut Eytan Stibbe will take with him to the International… Read More

    Traveling Space & Time

    07/03/2022

    Noa Zilberman, who is 28 and from Haifa, was always attracted to exploring the universe that surrounds her. “Ever since I can remember, I looked up at the sky in awe. The desire to grasp something from this universe, with its inconceivable dimensions and complexity, and to understand my place in it as a tiny… Read More

    Israel Prize to Profs. Zak, Palti

    06/03/2022

    Two Technion professors will receive the prestigious Israel Prize in May 2022: Prof. Emeritus Joshua Zak of the Faculty of Physics will be awarded the 2022 Israel Prize for Physics and Chemistry Research. Known for the Zak Transform and the Zak Phase, Prof. Zak is awarded for his contribution to the understanding of condensed matter physics.… Read More

    Discovering Gamma

    03/02/2022

    An experiment planned and built in the Faculty of Physics at the Technion will be launched to the International Space Station. Called GALI (Gamma-ray Burst Localizing Instrument), the experiment is an innovative gamma-ray (γ-ray) detection system. Placing the system on the space station will help identify the γ-ray radiation that originates from high-energy eruptions in… Read More

    Illuminating Quantum Limits

    Which factors determine how fast a quantum computer can perform its calculations? Physicists at the University of Bonn and the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have devised an elegant experiment to answer this question. The results of the study are published in the journal Science Advances. Quantum computers are highly sophisticated machines that rely… Read More

    Tiny Lasers Acting Together as One

    29/09/2021
    A single coherent light beam (pink) is emitted by an array of 30 individual lasers.

    Israeli and German researchers have developed a way to force an array of vertical cavity lasers to act together as a single laser – a highly effective laser network the size of a grain of sand. The findings are presented in a new joint research paper that was published online by Science on Friday, September… Read More

    A Centuries-Old Mystery? Solved.

    15/08/2021

    The three-body problem is one of the oldest problems in physics: it concerns the motions of systems of three bodies – like the Sun, Earth, and the Moon – and how their orbits change and evolve due to their mutual gravity. The three-body problem has been a focus of scientific inquiry ever since Newton. When… Read More
