Faster, Smarter, More Open: A New Way to Accelerate AI Models
Algorithms developed by Weizmann Institute of Science and Intel Labs researchers are enabling AI developers around the world to combine the power of different AI models ‘thinking’ as one. Just as people from different countries speak different languages, AI models...

Meet Your Digital Twin
A new AI model being developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science could predict your future health and help you change it. Before an important meeting or when a big decision needs to be made, we often mentally run through various scenarios before settling on the...

The Dark Side of Time
A nuclear clock quest at the Weizmann Institute of Science, spins off a new dark matter detection method. For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter – an invisible substance believed to make up about 80 per cent of the...

How we’re rebuilding the Weizmann Institute
By Professor Alon Chen, neuroscientist and president of the Weizmann Institute of Science – published in Nature, Vol 643, p306, 10 July 2025 A little before 3 a.m. on 15 June, two Iranian missiles hit the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. We consider...

Nerve Cells Learn to Grow
Weizmann Institute scientists have discovered hundreds of molecules that promote nerve regeneration in mice – and may even encourage growth in brain neurons. Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal...

When Science is Attacked We Rebuild Together
In the early hours of 15 June 2025, two ballistic missiles, launched by Iran directly hit the Weizmann Institute of Science.Thankfully, no lives were lost. But the damage was devastating. Critical research and teaching facilities were hit. State-of-the-art...
Flagship Projects
The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel is an internationally acclaimed research leader that is making huge contributions towards humanity’s collective scientific and medical knowledge.
In a bid to support Weizmann scientists’ work, different flagship initiatives have been established, each helping to push the boundaries of science and move humanity forward.
