Weizmann’s research into advanced technology is immense and acts as a timeline for technology’s evolution.
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have achieved an MRI resolution of one billionth of a metre, paving the way for the most detailed images of individual molecules ever produced. This new development will play a major role in the materials and pharmaceutical...
New research from the Weizmann Institute of Science reveals how mouse whiskers can ‘hear’ the world. Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This...
Weizmann Institute researchers have revealed that the melody of spoken English functions as a distinct language, with a vocabulary and rules of syntax. The findings lay the foundation for an AI that will understand language beyond just words. The AI revolution, which...
AI-based technology developed in Dr Liat Keren's lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science has shown it enables an unprecedented view of processes in body tissues. Artificial intelligence systems are working magic in many areas of the life sciences – they help decipher...
A new Weizmann Institute method reveals how lasers can instantly alter the properties of matter. Instantly turning a material from opaque to transparent, or from a conductor to an insulator, is no longer the stuff of science fiction. For several years now, scientists...
Weizmann researchers have untangled the tiny strands of lithium that develop inside rechargeable batteries to limit their use to pose a serious fire hazard. When we plug in our cell phones to charge them, we take it for granted that they’ll soon be brimming with...
Modelling a tiny worm’s feeding process at the Weizmann Institute of Science has revealed the power of mathematics and computer science when exploring the complexity of biological organisms. The throat of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans might seem like an odd...
A Weizmann Institute study of super-tough organisms reveals strategies for creating more sustainable, resilient human-made materials. Humans are by no means alone in the search for more sustainable materials. Nature, too, has been 'working' on the problem of...
A new Weizmann Institute of Science ceramic could replace lead-based electronic components. Produced in the Weizmann lab or Professor Igor Lubomirsky’s this material seems too good to be true. It belongs to a class of materials that are the backbone of many essential...
Life sciences have never been more digital. To learn more about life processes, biologists are collecting massive quantities of data that computer scientists analyse by means of sophisticated computational models that they develop. Over the past few years, Dr Ori...
One of the striking aspects of the quantum world is that a particle, say, an electron, is also a wave, meaning that it exists in many places at the same time. In a new study, just reported in Nature, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science make use of this...
Studies at the Weizmann Institute of science is shows that AI is providing researchers the means to design biomolecules with a huge range of valuable functions – from medicine to the environment. This is their story. When Dr Shiran Barber-Zucker joined the lab...
Building a working quantum computer is such a daunting venture that many believe it is only for tech giants and superpowers, something on a scale beyond Israel’s reach. However, Professor Roee Ozeri of the Weizmann Institute of Science has different views. “One of the...
A novel imaging method reveals a surprising arrangement of DNA in the cell’s nucleus as reported by the Weizmann Institute of Science. If you open a biology textbook and run through the images depicting how DNA is organized in the cell’s nucleus, chances are you’ll...
New research at the Weizmann Institute of Science has found that bats navigating in an innovative extra-large experimental setup reveals an unknown neuronal code. The brain is often likened to a computer: its hardware – neurons organised in complex circuits, its...
Following on from the memorandum of understanding signed by the Weizmann Institute of Science and the UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in September 2020, the two institutions have announced the establishment of the WIS-MBZUAI...
Fragrances – promising mystery, intrigue and forbidden thrills – are blended by master perfumers, their recipes kept secret. In a new study on the sense of smell, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have managed to strip much of the mystery, even from complex...
In 2016 the Garvan-Weizmann partnership was formalised during an Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce NSW mission to Israel, led by the NSW Premier of the time, Mr Mike Baird. A memorandum of understanding was signed and the Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular...
Electrons are often described as ‘flowing’ through materials, but in fact they do not move like a fluid. However this hydrodynamic electron flow had been predicted and now with the help of specially-produced, nanoscopic ‘pipes’, Weizmann Institute of Science...
The Garvan-Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics was celebrated at the Annual General Meeting of the International Board on November 13 in the presence of many Australian friends and scientists. Jillian Segal, a major donor to the partnership who, with her husband...
To celebrate the second anniversary of the Garvan-Weizmann Partnership, the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Vice President Elect, Professor Reich Ziv, and Head of Weizmann’s Crown Institute for Genomics, Dr Keren-ShaulHadas, came to Australia to deliver talks and meet...
One of the world’s smallest solar cells might be a nanotube – not the kind made of carbon, but one composed of an inorganic compound rolled around itself like a hollow cigar. This discovery – the fruit of collaboration between physicists in Japan and Germany and...
An Israeli-German mission that includes the Weizmann Institute of Science, which plans to launch a formation of ten tiny satellites that use medically-inspired CT (computed tomography) algorithms to answer climate questions, has won a €14 million European Research...
A new tool developed by Weizmann Institute of Science researchers for mapping cells reveals how complex regulatory systems evolved to help diverse cell types cooperate. The first multi-celled organisms began appearing on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago. That...
