A group of researchers from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and the United States has reported a breakthrough in MRI scanning that could significantly improve breast cancer diagnosis, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. The researchers developed a new method, called ELITE, that accelerates and enhances MRI scans used in breast cancer imaging, a disease diagnosed in approximately 2.3 million people each year, most of them women. The approach combines artificial intelligence with advanced mathematical modeling to enable dynamic MRI imaging at what the researchers describe as unprecedented speed and accuracy. The international study brings together…
The first small satellite of the CloudCT network has been integrated, tested, and prepared for launch from California in June 2026. This precursor mission will be followed, if successful, by the launch of 10 additional CloudCT satellites in 2027, helping to fill gaps in our understanding of clouds and their role in climate. This marks the culmination of seven years of intensive research by Israeli and German scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science (led by Prof. Ilan Koren), the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (led by Prof. Yoav Schechner), and Zentrum für Telematik (led by Prof. Klaus Schilling)….
“You’re from the Jewish school?” the French Ministry of Education official quizzed the teenage girl who had come for her post-high school baccalaureate exam. The examiner began firing off the most difficult questions on the physics test, seemingly seeking to trip up the high school senior, but Noa Uziel, 18, who was at the top of her class at Paris’s Yabne school, stood her ground. “Are you going to cry?” the Education Ministry official pressed her. “I am the one who chooses the questions.” A life journey changed by Oct. 7 It was more than a year earlier, after the…
According to a recent report, government officials in the United States and Israel are considering a joint effort to develop a large-scale research and development campus for artificial intelligence in Israel’s Western Negev desert. The plan, which is called Project Spire, would create an advanced fabrication and design center to produce, assemble, and test a new generation of computer chips to meet the demands of the rapidly developing artificial intelligence era. The report in the Wall Street Journal was written by two members of Hudson Institute’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, a conservative think tank based…
Outside of Israel, headlines rarely portray the country in a positive light. Ambassador Reda Mansour — the Technion’s new senior director of global resource development and a decorated diplomat, poet, historian, and member of Israel’s Druze community — is committed to changing that narrative. Dr. Mansour has spent his career sharing positive stories about Israel, […]
On a recent morning at the Shulich Faculty of Chemistry at Haifa’s Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, three post-doctoral students from India were immersed in their research experiments. The lab was crowded with glass beakers, bottles, test tubes, and syringes. Suddenly, a siren blared, indicating a possible incoming Iranian ballistic missile. The students calmly filed out of the Ashraf Brik lab, as though this drill were part of normal procedure, and headed for the protected room down the hall. One didn’t bother to take off his white lab coat and gloves. After about 10 minutes, the students returned to…
Though invisible to the naked eye, every light wave contains tiny points of complete darkness. For half a century, scientists have theorized that these “dark points” move even faster than the light waves in which they’re formed. Thanks to a group of researchers from the Technion’s Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer […]
Six international companies are relocating to Boston as part of an artificial intelligence health care accelerator backed by the Middle East’s largest medical center. Sheba Medical Center in Israel — which has the world’s first AI-powered emergency department — first announced its new U.S. endeavor last May. Now it has officially launched the ARC Innovation Boston location in the city’s downtown, a “soft landing pad” for international startups working to transform the delivery of health care through AI and digital solutions. The Boston hub is joining a network of existing ARC (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate) programs in London, Melbourne, Singapore, Berlin…
