The Technion — Israel Institute of Technology was ranked the best university in computer science and artificial intelligence research in Israel and Europe. It was also ranked 21st worldwide, according to an index unveiled by CSRankings on Monday. The index was created using the number of peer-reviewed conference papers published by Technion researchers between 2005 and 2025 at the world’s leading computer science conferences, highlighting the Technion as one of the leading institutions in AI research and development. The institute was also ranked among the top ten most important universities when investigating Machine Learning, a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. The…
Ali Ayoub told the Globes Putting the North at the Center Conference that Nvidia does not see the north as a periphery but as the center of the AI revolution. “I was born and raised in the (Galilee) village of Majd al-Krum and was infatuated by the field of technology from an early age. I remember my father buying us a computer, which was not a given. I shared the computer with my brothers,” Nvidia VP software engineering Ali Ayoub told Globes technology editor Assaf Gilead at the Globes Putting the North at the Center Conference held in cooperation with…
Haifa’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is ranked first in Israel and Europe and 21st worldwide in the international CSRankings index for computer sciences, the university says. The ranking is based on the number of peer-reviewed conference papers published by Technion researchers between 2005 and 2025 at the world’s leading conferences in a variety of AI subfields, placing it among the world’s top 60 universities in each. In Machine Learning, the Technion is ranked first in Israel, first in Europe, and 10th worldwide. “Hundreds of our faculty members apply advanced AI-based methods across a wide range of fields, including data science,…
From regenerative implants to smarter therapies, Israel’s innovation ecosystem keeps delivering life-saving advances. Researchers from Haifa’s Technion – Israel Institue of Technology unveiled a breakthrough biological implant that could end daily insulin injections for millions with Type 1 diabetes by producing insulin inside the body without rejection. Hebrew University discovered a tiny RNA molecule that bacteriophages use to combat bacteria, offering fresh hope in the fight against antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.”
Put bluntly, we simply do not do the best job of feeding all 8.3 billion people on Earth. As the World Food Program explains, 318 million people worldwide are facing “acute hunger” due to conflicts, economic conditions, and, particularly, the climate crisis. According to the United Nations, plant health could be part of the solution to this issue. However, the UN also noted that plant disease is making it harder for us to maintain crops, with about 40% of the planet’s agricultural yield dying off before it ever reaches our plates. While pesticides have helped reduce pest populations, they have…
Long before a star ignites, its birth is shaped by invisible particles racing through space at near-light speed. These cosmic rays quietly alter the chemistry and temperature inside dark clouds, helping determine when the clouds can collapse and begin forming stars. For the first time, astronomers have directly measured the influence of these particles inside a dense, starless cloud, providing a long-sought reading from the heart of a stellar nursery. The discovery offers a more precise way to understand how stars – and eventually planets – begin. A measurable stellar cloud Barnard 68 is a small, cold cloud of gas…
In recent decades, growing resources have been invested in the field of hydrogen as a raw material that aligns with the vision of a green economy and the use of sustainable energy. Hydrogen production is not a new process, but the aspiration to protect the environment and improve efficiency presents numerous technological challenges. A group of researchers at the Technion – Israel Institue of Technology and Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology is presenting a breakthrough in the field – a development expected to significantly improve hydrogen storage capacity for future use. Growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by human…
Patent registration involves prestige as well as significant money. Commercial companies file patents and reap major profits, but academic institutions also benefit from the innovations developed by their researchers. Israel holds a respected position in this arena, and for the fifth consecutive year, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology ranked among the Top 100 institutions for U.S. patent approvals. The latest ranking places the Technion first in Israel, second in Europe, and within the list of the world’s 100 leading institutions for U.S. patent approvals in 2025. The Technion ranked 81st globally, with 46 patents approved during the year,…
Built to protect pedestrians from falling debris, the ubiquitous sidewalk shed has become an unfortunate defining feature of New York City life. And while we can applaud the new, improved designs for these eyesores, we need to get smarter about how to keep fewer of them up and for shorter periods of time. Simply making sidewalk sheds prettier is merely putting “lipstick on a pig” — no offense to pigs. We can do better. As of last year, the city had more than 8,000 active sidewalk shed permits on file. More than 400 have been up for more than half…
Artificial intelligence is so much more than the latest buzzword. By blurring the line between human and technology, AI has proven its staying power and will undoubtedly shape the future of life on Earth. It is also no secret that when it comes to AI innovation, Israel punches above its weight class. I recently called upon the brightest minds in Israel to take an active role in shaping AI applications on a global scale, setting ethical standards and ensuring that this technology is used for good. When I think of Israel’s AI prowess, I can’t help but place the Technion…
The magnitude of artificial intelligence’s potential can cloud our imagination when trying to understand its specific real-world impact. Fortunately, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and its expansive network of alumni around the world are working each day to ensure that its potential is honed for good and advance true transformation that we can see with our own eyes. One such alum is Jonathan Spitz, founder of AI start-up GaussML. He leverages physical AI—the new frontier of AI innovation that will bring about a future where robots are our helpful friends, rather than the villains of science fiction. I…
California’s most devastating wildfire – the 2018 Camp Fire, which killed 85 and destroyed nearly 19,000 structures – forced nearly half of all residents living within designated fire perimeters to relocate within a year. That local exodus is documented by Cornell-led research that mapped annual moves between U.S. neighborhoods from 2010 to 2019 in detail 4,600 times greater than standard public data. Called MIGRATE, the new, publicly available dataset revealed that most of those displaced remained within the affected county – moves not captured in county-level public migration data aggregated every five years. The case study illustrates how a finer-grained…
