A team of students from the Technion and the University of Missouri won second place at MedHacks — a hackathon for developing medical technologies hosted by Johns Hopkins University. They were awarded for developing the Scan&Sound application, which detects strokes at early stages and alerts the victims. One in four people in the United States experiences a stroke at one point in their lives. There are many different levels of severity, ranging from a stroke that one is not even aware of experiencing to an event that results in serious cognitive and motor impairments, and even death. In addition to…
Hydrogen fuel cells hold exciting potential as an emissions-free energy carrier, but they are prohibitively expensive to manufacture. Technion scientists in collaboration with the University of Connecticut (UConn) are working on a project that could advance the commercialization of these highly efficient fuel cells, allowing people to travel longer distances and leaving a smaller carbon footprint. Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, found abundantly in nature, releasing just water and heat as byproducts. But currently, the most efficient catalyst for speeding up the chemical reaction is the precious metal platinum. The Technion-UConn collaboration, funded…

The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and Intel Corporation opened a new chapter by launching the Center for Artificial Intelligence at Technion’s Haifa campus. The Technion is already Israel’s leading university in the field of AI — and one of the top 10 AI universities in the world. The new center will supercharge those efforts, advancing research in AI fields and promoting collaboration between Technion and Intel researchers. It will be led by Prof. Shie Mannor from the Technion’s Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering. As part of this collaboration, Intel will bring together Technion faculty and…
During the final quarter of 2017 alone, Technion achieved what feels like many years’ worth of breakthroughs, awards, and milestones in its global partnerships, which are saving lives, creating jobs, and advancing the bounds of human knowledge in so many fields. Here’s a quick review of some of the most exciting highlights from 2017, which offer a glimpse into the kind of transformative innovation we can expect in the year ahead. An Israeli university in China Israel’s population is less than 9 million, and China’s is more than 1.4 billion. Yet the two nations are true partners in the Guangdong…
Fulbright. Rhodes. Marshall. These programs represent the pinnacle of achievement for young scholars, and have long served as a launching pad for many of the world’s greatest leaders and brightest thinkers. Late last month, I was proud to be present at a major ceremony in New York City as a new name was added to this prestigious international group — the Zuckerman Scholars Program — which will put Israel on the map in unprecedented ways for the most talented, up-and-coming American researchers. The program is the brainchild of Mortimer Zuckerman — a renowned business leader and visionary philanthropist — who…
