Before Israel became a state, the Technion was educating the people who would help build it. As the country grew, its challenges called for new knowledge — and generations of Technion minds answered. This short film follows that journey, from the engineers who helped construct Israel’s infrastructure to the researchers whose discoveries strengthened its security, […]
At the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, the future often begins with a deceptively simple question: What can we do today that we could not do before? “Science and engineering have never been about yesterday’s tasks. They’ve always been about the future,” said Prof. Lihi Zelnik-Manor, vice president of External Relations and Resource Development at […]
Their study investigated fruit flies, a classic model organism in genetics. It focused on the species Drosophila sechellia, whose ancestors’ larval bodies possessed tiny hair-like structures (trichomes). These structures have disappeared over the course of evolution. In other words, the same evolutionary outcome — the loss of gene expression — emerged through several distinct molecular […]
