As wildfires become more frequent and severe due to climate change, the Technion has joined the Ministry of National Security, the Israel Innovation Authority, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority in developing an advanced drone-based…
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) proudly congratulates Prof. Haim Sompolinsky, one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists and neuroscientists, on being awarded the prestigious 2026 Dirac Medal and Prize by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). The organization…
Qedma Quantum Computing, a pioneer in quantum error reduction software and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a breakthrough study demonstrating how trusted, error-mitigated quantum computation is possible, and can be used to explore the physics of materials beyond the capabilities…
New Science Advances paper calls for broader action as Coral Art-Science Consortium launches to unite artists, designers and scientists in protecting Earth’s most threatened ecosystems. Coral reefs are disappearing at an unprecedented rate as climate change, marine heatwaves, pollution and coastal…
The model developed by the researchers estimated that, in the area where pollution concentrations were highest, up to 75.4 percent of species living in the upper water layers may have been exposed to levels of toxic substances associated with harmful…
Researchers have identified a simple form of molecular cooperation that may have helped life’s earliest building blocks become more stable and organized. By linking fatty acids, which can form primitive cell membranes, with hydroxy acids, which can form short polymers,…
Environmental benefits from reducing ultra-processed foods may be offset by increased protein consumption, particularly from animal sources, newly published research reveals. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans could increase greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and fertilizer use relative to the…
New research shows that even in the famous Prisoner’s Dilemma, where selfishness is supposed to prevail, cooperation can naturally emerge and persist, offering fresh insight into how complex life and human societies evolved. For decades, one of the most influential…
A new study from Tel Aviv University proposes a solution to a historical mystery that has puzzled researchers for decades: Was the unique calendar of the Qumran sect, based on a 364-day year, ever used in practice, or was it…
New study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simple superconductors with a single energy gap, they actually contain two strongly interacting superconducting states that work together…
