Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have uncovered physical laws explaining why cracks in materials break their symmetry while spreading. These findings lay the groundwork for the design of more resilient materials which could have significant implications for...
Weizmann Australia is pleased to share the Weizmann Institute of Science's first virtual Annual Impact Report. The report, which encompasses an overview of that which took place in 2022, features an introduction from President Professor Alon Chen, information covering...
The GMTO Corporation has welcomed the Weizmann Institute of Science into its international consortium of distinguished universities and research institutions building the Giant Magellan Telescope. The new partnership reinforces that completing the largest and most...
A new method is set to reveal the hidden first stages of embryonic development – from a tiny ball of cells to organ growth – this unique research is from the Weizmann institute of Science and recently published in Nature. To observe how a tiny ball of identical cells...
A new study at the Weizmann Institute of Science shows that we are doubling the mass of the human-made ‘anthropogenic’ part of the world every twenty years and the curve is not flattening. Earth circa 2020: The mass of all human-produced materials – concrete, steel,...
By tracking the evolution of what may be our oldest means of fighting off viral infection, a group at the Weizmann Institute of Science has uncovered a gold mine of antiviral substances that may lead to the development of highly effective antiviral drugs. These...
A new video series from the Weizmann Institute of Science's Levinson Visitor's Center is being produced where Weizmann Institute scientists and employees speak of their favorite spots and hidden gems on campus. ...
The Weizmann Institute of Medical Research and Weizmann Australia have produced online presntation and information videos, plus others about Weizmann what science they are doing with regard to Coronovirus and similar. If you are interested in finding out more please...
A new study on mice, recently published in Nature Neuroscience, shows animal research may need to take into account the connection between genes, behaviour and personality. We may refer to someone’s personality as ‘mousey’ but in truth mice have a range of...
Only a few vaccines – for example for polio and rotavirus – can be given orally, most are by injection. Weizmann Institute of Science researchers suggest this could be because immune cells' training program in the gut occurs under harsh conditions. Weizmann's Dr Ziv...
Scientists are not generally required to display prowess in modern dance, but Dr Roni Zohar of the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Science Teaching Department recently showed her moves in an award-winning science/dance video. Her video placed first in the social...
As Cassini - one of the more successful planetary missions, orbiting and returning information on Saturn and its moons - reached its final act, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers took part in the last phase of the 20-year mission. Grand Finale was the official...
Being born with a 'tabula rasa' – a clean slate – for the brain is something of a curse. Our brains are already wrinkled like walnuts by the time we are born, but babies born without these wrinkles – smooth brain syndrome – suffer from severe developmental...
New Weizmann research in bats and published in Science has identified 'social place cells' in the brain that respond to the locations of others in the spatial environment, revealing a sub-population of neurons that encode the specific location of other bats that are...
A newly discovered immune cell type by Weizmann scientists may lead to a future treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease manifested by various neuronal pathological processes and a significant decline in brain function....
