For the first time in Israel, Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) working in collaboration with Israeli company P-Cure, is now able to provide groundbreaking experimental proton radiation treatment for cancer patients. This treatment is precise and efficient, safer, and has fewer…
The University of Haifa has contributed to the development of an autonomous underwater glider to detect and track whale vocalizations in real time. This innovation could transform the study of these marine mammals by enabling their continuous observation over extended…
“Space is no longer a distant destination; it is humanity’s next arena of activity, and we are proud to be among those shaping its future.” The Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering this week inaugurated the Space Engineering Center…
A Weizmann-led team proposes a simple but powerful new method for detecting traces of alien biology, whether on Jupiter’s icy moons, in meteorites or in Martian samples. Before any wrinkled, wide-eyed creature from a distant civilization asks to be taken…
Despite being one of the most sustainable and reliable energy sources, Geothermal Energy currently accounts for less than 0.4% of global energy production. Deep drilling into hard rocks like Basalt and Granite has long been a significant challenge, hindering the…
A three-year study has cracked open the hidden biology behind coral reproduction, revealing hormone cycles that echo those of humans and other animals, and a new way to detect reef distress before it’s too late. Once a year, on cue,…
A new study demonstrates that preloading plant-derived cellulose scaffolds with growth factors supports the cost-efficient proliferation and differentiation of bovine stem cells for cultivated meat. By binding these vital proteins directly to an anisotropic, directionally frozen framework instead of dispersing…
Africa’s landscapes are transforming faster than almost anywhere else on Earth, yet the continent remains one of the world’s largest blind spots in climate observations. This year, a unique scientific expedition aims to change that. After a months-long sea journey…
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) is launching a pioneering Renewable Natural Resources (RNR) undergraduate program, a science-driven degree designed to equip the next generation of experts with the practical tools to solve urgent global challenges like water scarcity, climate…
Chronic oral inflammation may impair female fertility by triggering a systemic immune response that affects the ovaries. A new study shows this leads to oxidative damage, reduced egg quality, disrupted follicle development and reduced live birth rate. These findings point…
