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…
Climate change is accelerating the decline in the vitamin and mineral content of our food, warn 15 leading researchers from four continents – including Weizmann Institute’s Prof. Asaph Aharoni. This is not a distant threat. Already today, up to two-thirds…
Bar-Ilan University in Israel study finds that coastal light pollution disrupts sleep and isassociated with increased markers of DNA damage in the brains of reef fish. Artificial light spilling into coastal waters from cities, ports, roads, and hotels is disrupting…
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…
