An international team announced today that a planet with a mass similar to that of Earth has been observed orbiting the star Proxima Centauri – the closest star to our Sun, just over 4 light years (about 40 trillion km) away. The…
Scientists at Technion have proposed an innovative system for harvesting safe drinking water from air. Capturing atmospheric moisture is not a new invention in itself because atmospheric water generators for commercial and domestic use already exist. But the new device…
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have determined that a child pedestrian’s ability to safely cross the road is hindered more during a cell phone conversation than an adult’s. The study was published recently in Safety Science (Elsevier).…

Ten miles south of Tel Aviv, I stand on a catwalk over two concrete reservoirs the size of football fields and watch water pour into them from a massive pipe emerging from the sand. The pipe is so large I…
In a landmark discovery, researchers at Tel Aviv University have unraveled the metastatic mechanism of melanoma, the most aggressive of all skin cancers. The scientists discovered that before spreading to other organs, the tumor sends out tiny vesicles containing molecules…
The eminent British scientist Stephen Hawking made predictions, 42 years ago, about elusive radiation emanating from black holes. Known as Hawking radiation, this phenomenon is too weak to observe with current techniques, and remained a “holy grail” for the fields…
Sami Shamoon School of Engineering (SCE): develop southern Israel and address the shortage of engineers
With companies like Amazon, Uber and more entering into the “instant delivery” space, standard mail and delivery services no longer make the cut. From ordering flowers for your anniversary five minutes before your significant other walks through the door to…
The research group of Technion Prof. Erez Hasman has developed technology for compressing dozens of lenses on a nanometric surface. The study, published in Science magazine, paves the way for creating a completely new type of optical elements with potential…
