According to a new metric revealed in a Weizmann Institute of Science study, arid regions may be closer to the ecological red line than previously thought. “How much rain fell?” is a key question in any discussion about climate. But perhaps there is an even more...
A study conducted in Israel and Ethiopia, led by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Hadassah, reveals that the microbiome partly compensates for the immune damage caused by HIV infection. The circumstances surrounding a study on a deadly virus could...
New Weizmann Institute of Science research has measured Jupiter’s dimensions with unprecedented precision. For over 50 years, we thought we knew the size and shape of Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet. Now, Weizmann researchers have revised that knowledge...
A new Weizmann Institute of Science study has found that the genetic contribution to human lifespan is about 50 percent – more than double previous estimates. What determines how long we live – and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for...
Japanese researchers and a Weizmann Institute of Science team have revealed an engineering marvel inside rat whisker follicles, shedding light on their extraordinary sensory system. More than two decades ago, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science made an...
Weizmann Institute scientists have found new evidence for a particle system that ‘remembers' its previous quantum states – a significant step toward the development of a fault-tolerant quantum computer. In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve...
North Pacific winter storm tracks are shifting toward the North Pole faster than predicted according to new research from the Weizmann Institute of Science and Google Research. Alaska’s glaciers are melting at an accelerating pace, losing roughly 60 billion tons of...
Three resistance mutations identified in the Weizmann Institute of Science laboratory of Professor Yardena Samuels may become targets for powerful new immunotherapies. One of the most challenging moments in cancer treatment comes when a therapy stops working. In many...
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have solved a 50-year-old mystery, uncovering the molecular mechanism that enables tissue regeneration after extensive damage. The findings may pave the way for treatments that help prevent cancer from returning. Like a...
This Weizmann Institute of Science study may shed new light on disruptions to the circadian clocks during menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Disruptions to our circadian clocks – the internal molecular timekeepers ‘ticking’ in nearly every cell of our body...
