Much about the inner workings of the brain remains a puzzle, even after years of progress in brain research. Now Technion researchers are putting together the pieces, with a focus on understanding the inner workings of the brain and treating neurodegenerative diseases. Hear Technion experts from the Allen and Jewel Prince Center for Neurodegenerative Disorders […]
Donor Rosalyn August’s Girls Empowerment Mission One female scientist traced her inspiration to watching X-Men use their superhuman powers for peace. Others talked about being nerds in high school, or life as women in science. They shared their stories at the Technion 6th Tech Women event, which had plenty of real-life women superheroes, including event […]
Technion students Eyal Cohen and Tomer Wassermann from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and Matan Orian and Dvir Dukhan from the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management take on the challenge to build a Rube Goldberg machine that lights the Hanukkah menorah. Hanukkah is the holiday of miracles and here is another one.
Five years ago, Distinguished Visiting Professor Andrew Viterbi made a gift that transformed the Technion and the State of Israel. His generous donation of $50 million to the Technion Faculty of Computer and Electrical Engineering not only enhanced the Technion’s position as an electrical engineering powerhouse. It secured Israel’s place as a global leader in […]
Quantum computing is surely poised to shape the future of computer science and technology in a big way. Companies including IBM, Google, and Honeywell are racing to build super-fast, quantum-based computers, while potential users like Pfizer are preparing for the quantum era. The Technion also has fully embraced the next-generation technology. In 2018, the Technion established the Helen Diller Center for Quantum Science, Matter and Engineering, building on its strengths in computer science, quantum physics, and engineering. And in October 2020, just before classes began, the Technion held its first, highly popular quantum computing “summer school.” More than 220 students…
Often referred to as a mini-NASA, the Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering is the only department of its kind in Israel and has trained most of the nation’s rocket scientists. Its researchers are involved in Israel’s priority space projects and have played an outsized role in building Israel’s aerospace industry. In this webinar, Aerospace Engineering […]
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…
The Technion’s First Virtual Board of Governors Meeting Showcases the University’s Prowess Marked with A Mix of Videos and Live Events The State of the Technion is strong, despite, or perhaps because of, the hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic. That was one of the key take-aways from the Technion Board of Governors Meeting (BOG) held in a members-only session July 26 and a public session August 2, 2020, conducted virtually. Just one week before the Technion was preparing to start the spring semester, Israel went on lockdown due to COVID-19. “With typical flexibility and resourcefulness in time of emergency,…
Be transported to Haifa, and see the campus as you have never seen it before. Enjoy aerial overviews filmed using a drone, and take a look inside labs and more. This virtual tour video was screened at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s 2020 Board of Governors Meeting.
Professor Wendy Ju studies ways to design autonomous machines that understand us Videos of Professor Wendy Ju’s experiments look like Candid Camera outtakes. In “The Ottoman Experiment,” a normal-looking ottoman travels on its own across the room and stops in front of unsuspecting student subjects. And just like subjects on the 1960s hidden-camera TV show, their reactions are amusing: Some put up their feet; others pet it like a dog, and others look very confused. But that’s the crux of Ju’s work. Her experiments in interaction design research aim to better understand human–robot interaction to help industry design and perfect…
Technion physicists led by President Uri Sivan and Distinguished Professor Moti Segev conducted an experiment to see how light behaves around curves. They froze a soap bubble so that it wouldn’t explode. Then they shined a light through the bubble. The scientists got their answer — as well as an unexpected breakthrough, featured on the […]
Technion Webinar With Special Guests David Horovitz, Dr. Irit Idan, and Prof. Uri Sivan When and how will the economy bounce back? As nations eased the shelter-in-place orders enacted to save lives, they were faced with solving a mounting economic crisis. Israel is no exception, as its economy was severely damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. […]
