MRI Gets a Nano-Sized Upgrade
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...
They’d Rather Die: The Lesson That Male Roundworms Refuse to Learn
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have found that male roundworms do not learn from experience as well as females do – and discovered the neural receptor responsible, which also exists in humans. In human society, men tend to be seen as risk-takers,...
Matter at the Crossroads
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...
New Immune Mechanism Revealed in the Cellular Trash
A Weizmann Institute of Science study about a newly discovered immune mechanism holds promise in light of the growing resistance to antibiotics. Much like humans generate mountains of garbage, our cells are constantly discarding proteins that are damaged or no longer...
A Broken Heart: Two Types of Scars, Two Paths to Healing
A collaborative study from the Weizmann Institute of Research has revealed two kinds of scarring, dubbed hot and cold, in injured heart tissue, suggesting that treatments must take the type of scar into account. Not all scars are created equal. That’s the conclusion...
Seeding the Passion
A plant sanctuary established in the Weizmann Institute greenhouses holds valuable lessons for survival and helps to instil a love for plant conservation. When PhD student Gal Raviv thought of creating a sanctuary garden at the Weizmann Institute of Science, what she...
