Guiding a medical needle through the body to do biopsies and other treatment is not an easy task. Straight needles work when the path is a straight shot, but often the target is hidden behind bones or vulnerable tissue. In recent years scientists have developed medical needles with beveled tips and algorithms to direct the needles, but the procedure is still risky. Now a team from the Technion and the University of North Carolina have developed a new algorithm that hopes to make the task safer and more precise.

(L-R) Suad Mansour, Aseel Khateeb, and Sereen Diab At the end of every term, the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science at the Technion holds its annual projects fair, showcasing projects by undergraduate students in their final year. This year, the students presented projects that reflected the fields of computer science they belong to and the subjects they chose to tackle. Some created mobile apps for different uses; some wrote programs to solve diverse problems; some delved into virtual reality; and some built devices, delving into the evolving field of the Internet of…
CSRankings, the leading metrics-based ranking of the world’s top computer science institutions, has ranked the Technion number one in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in Europe, and 15th worldwide. CSRankings also ranked the Technion 11th in the world in the subfield of machine learning. Currently, 46 Technion researchers are engaged in core AI research areas with more than 100 researchers in AI-related fields, including health and medicine, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, industrial robotics, cybersecurity, natural language processing, FinTech, human-machine interaction, and others. The Technion has also established the Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems (MLIS) research center, which pools resources…
With thousands of graduates working in industries all over the world, it’s no exaggeration to say that Technion ingenuity is in action every single day. If you rely on a smart home device or cloud connectivity, live in an urban area, or watch “Monday Night Football,” you’ve got Technion alums like Omer Schneider ’05; Sharon Yavo Ayalon ’01, M.S. ’10, Ph.D. ’19; and Alon Kremer ’11 to thank. These Technion graduates are making the world better, safer, and more secure in some truly remarkable ways.
Digital platforms and technology — from Facebook and mobile phones to Zoom and virtual reality to online recommendations and shopping —now serve as the core fabric of our lives and our society, with consequences that are not always positive. In this Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute webinar, hear how the Connective Media Hub is building new human-centered […]
Jordan Fung Tsz Chun was just 9 years old when he tried to teach himself coding. But he wasn’t happy with the online tutorials, so he did what few people three times his age would: he launched a startup to help fix the problem. A few years later he started another company. And today, at age 17, he is a freshman at Technion International, the international school of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. “Israel is a very nice place, and they’re also very nice people — innovative people, known for their startup ecosystem,” the Hong Kong teen recently…
Sports trainers, coaches, and scouts spend hours culling statistics to predict how a player will do that night. But maybe they’d be better off listening to pre-game interviews. That’s what Technion researchers concluded after a study of prominent professional basketball players. The researchers, led by Professor Roi Reichart, had hypothesized that a player’s performance can turn on intangibles such as the environment at the game or his emotions going in — dynamics that cannot be measured by past performance captured in box scores. Their work was aimed at going beyond previous studies that have used psychology, statistics, computer science, and…
Researchers from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with the Israel National Cyber Directorate, have managed to take control of a Siemens PLC, considered to be one of the safest controllers in the world. The attack was led by Professor Eli Biham, the head of the Hiroshi Fujiwara Cyber Security Research Center at the Technion, Dr. Sara Bitan from the Technion’s Faculty of Computer Science, and Professor Avishai Wool of the School of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University, together with students Aviad Carmel, Alon Dankner, and Uriel Malin. As part of the…
