Parallel Dimensions of Healing
The new Technion Integrated Cancer Center takes a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to discovery, medical innovation and life-saving treatments. “The Technion is the ideal place for cancer research for a number of reasons: the Institute’s high level of researchers and clinicians; unique interfaces between medicine, engineering, life sciences and fundamental science; and close ties with hospitals […]
Quantum Unlimited
Prof. Netanel Lindner’s work unveils a phase in which the motion of particles at the edge of the system is chiral, despite complete localization in the bulk of the system. The quantum shift is the next frontier of scientific research. The coming technological shift is set to be as momentous as the invention of […]
E-Beam Beyond Limits
One of the most advanced electronbeam lithography (EBL) tools in the world, the Raith EBPG5200 arrived at Technion in August and is now installed in the Micro-Nano Fabrication Unit (MNFU) in the Wolfson Microelectronics Centre and Sara and Moshe Zisapel Nanoelectronics Center. E-beam lithography is the science and art of scanning a focused beam of […]
Science of the Heart
In a breakthrough that could change the future of pacemakers, Technion researchers have used mechanical stimulation to “train” cardiac cells to beat at a given rate. The mechanical stimulation of cardiac cells could lead to better pacemakers and advance the development of new therapies for cardiovascular diseases. The findings, published in Nature Physics, demonstrate for the first time that direct physical contact with […]
The Genius of Nature
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is essential to the animal kingdom: not only for organisms that perform photosynthesis themselves, but for all living things. This is because even animals that do not perform photosynthesis consume the primary product of […]
Nano Healers
Imagine we could access a cancer treatment in which the cells of the tumor are directly targeted with gene therapy, eradicating the tumor at its root and vastly increasingly life expectancy. Technion research into the nanomedicine of tomorrow is promising just this. A new technology for the delivery of targeted anticancer therapeutics in the body […]
Living Solar Cells
A patented Technion breakthrough improves the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells by 50 percent, and could someday provide a huge boost for the viability of solar power as a major source of energy. The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Applied Physics. Organic photovoltaic cells convert solar energy into electric power through organic […]
The Rising Sun
When two multidisciplinary centers join forces, there is high energy impact on the world. The focused synergy of the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute and the Grand Technion Energy Program is propelling Technion innovations in energy to new dimensions. Take water, recruit the energy of the sun, and split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. What […]
