The genomes of phages – viruses that infect bacteria – are largely composed of “dark matter”: genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem Sorek at the Weizmann Institute…
From summer evenings to global disease prevention, mosquito repellents are a daily defense for billions of people, yet until now, scientists didn’t fully understand how mosquitoes themselves perceive these “keep away” signals. A new study has pinpointed an odorant receptor…
The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) and the Illinois Economic Development Corporation announced that Quantum Machines will establish a flagship hub at the Park. Israeli company Quantum Machines, the leading provider of hybrid control solutions, will operate a state-of-the-art…
“How much rain fell?” is a key question in any discussion about climate. But perhaps there is an even more important one. Like any household budget, the global water economy is based on “income,” that is, water entering the system…

A new study from Bar-Ilan University is shedding light on a long-overlooked social group in archaeology: the elderly. While research on women and children has flourished in recent decades, older adults have remained largely invisible, their lives reconstructed primarily through…
New design center to focus on cutting-edge AI fabrics and emerging AI inference technologies. Industry veteran Guy Azrad to lead operations as general manager of Astera Labs Israel. Astera Labs, a leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for rack-scale AI infrastructure,…
The Israeli government has approved the first-ever national land-use plan dedicated to agrivoltaic installations. This decision comes approximately one month after its approval by the National Council for Land Use Planning and Construction. However, despite this official validation, the full…
U.S.-manufactured single-phase inverter products head to key European markets, delivering premium US-manufactured technology. SolarEdge also announced that US-manufactured inverter products will include a new single SKU concept, which significantly simplifies inventory management, and streamlines the logistics and installation of SolarEdge…
New study shows that aggressive cancer cells can be identified in a simple, new way; by how they physically behave, not just by their genes. Using specially textured Meta surfaces pattered with tiny immobilized particles, the researchers found that aggressive…
