When three Bar-Ilan researchers set out to understand how children find their voice in more than one language, they ended up creating a global EdTech success story. It began with a question that transcended disciplines and borders: How can we truly…
Dr. Ron Tenne of the Technion’s Schulich Faculty of Chemistry has been awarded a prestigious starting grant from the European Research Council (ERC). These highly competitive ERC grants, each totaling €1.5 million, are designed to support promising early-career scientists in…
We’ve gone to the bottom of the ocean to study how its chemistry shapes our planet’s climate, even chasing lava-spewing underwater volcanoes to do it. But it turns out we may have missed something far closer to home: the water…
A study conducted at University of Haifa examined the degree of pluralism in artificial intelligence systems and found that while they acknowledge the legitimacy of different positions, they do not always allow them to remain. This new study published in…
At a ceremony held this morning, Ariel University conferred the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa on seven prominent figures from the worlds of culture, health, law, science, security and sport. The 2025 honorees were selected in recognition of their exceptional…
A groundbreaking study from researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev reveals that desert soils can emit powerful greenhouse gases within minutes of being wetted—even in the absence of microbial life. Published by Dr. Isaac Yagle and Prof. Ilya Gelfand…
New research reveals RNA viruses make it harder for oceans to recycle carbon, offering new insight into Earth’s climate regulation. Published in Science Advances, the research reveals that RNA viruses may interfere with the ocean’s ability to recycle carbon and…
For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter – an invisible substance believed to make up about 80 percent of the universe’s mass and needed to explain a variety of physical phenomena. Numerous methods…
A groundbreaking new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Israeli researchers promises to revolutionize wildfire prediction, with a particular focus on lightning-induced blazes that are growing increasingly common due to climate change. The new AI model can predict where and…
When we plug in our cells phones to charge them, we take it for granted that they’ll soon be brimming with energy for scrolling, texting and news alerts. But the technology powering this – rechargeable lithium-ion batteries – heralded a…
