This Rosh HaShanah, we pray for the people and State of Israel. We pray for their safety, for healing, for resilience, and for peace. On behalf of the American Technion Society and the Technion, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy new year. Shanah Tovah!
Technion’s Entrepreneurial Impact In laboratories across the Technion campus, scientists are turning once unfathomable ideas into research they hope will become the next lifesaving cancer treatment, indispensable assistive device, or environmental discovery. The road to commercialization isn’t easy. But you wouldn’t know that from the success stories coming out of the Technion and the Jacobs […]
Even before the establishment of the State of Israel, faculty, students, and alumni of the Technion helped develop and manage water resources in a desert land. They contributed to the national water carrier that brought water from the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) in the north to the drylands in the south. They improved technologies for water treatment, desalination, and drip irrigation. These efforts have turned Israel from a water-deficient to a water-abundant country. Today, Israel leads the world in water reclamation, recycling more than 90% of its wastewater for use in agriculture and industry. No longer reliant on the Kinneret,…
Stav Cohen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Technion’s Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences. He is researching generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) methodologies, with a specific emphasis on security and operational aspects. He recently discovered, or rather created, a potential threat to GenAI systems. GenAI uses artificial intelligence to create unique content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. This technology is becoming increasingly popular. It’s used to automatically make calendar bookings, create chat boxes on websites, write poetry and love songs, and more. But as these tools become more powerful and “intelligent,” there is also an increased danger…
A Technion Earth Day Webinar With the health of our planet failing, we need big ideas and innovative solutions to reverse the current environmental crisis.

This video shows astronaut Eytan Stibbe on the ISS during Axiom Space’s AX1 mission (April 2022), performing a Fluidic Space Optics experiment as part of the #RAKIA mission. In this part of the experiment, Eytan injected water onto a large frame, and demonstrated that in space the surface tension of liquids can be used to create optical components at any scale. This experiment is part of the FLUTE project – a collaboration between The Fluidic Technologies Laboratory at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion and a team led by Dr. Edward Balaban at NASA Ames.

Hear From One of Technion’s Rising Stars Experience the webinar by clicking on the image above. Technion Associate Prof. Yoav Shechtman describes his work as: “how and why to ruin a perfectly good microscope?” Pushing the limits of microscopy, the nano-bioengineer develops technology that creates videos of the tiniest moving organisms inside cells, allowing scientists to better understand health and disease. Prof. Shechtman shares his personal story, describes his cutting-edge research, and offers a lively Q & A.
Could sustainable plant-based food created at the Technion help solve world hunger and mitigate the climate crisis? The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Sustainable Protein Research Center is developing solutions to feed our growing population while cutting our carbon footprint. Gain insights from SPRC experts who are revolutionizing the field: Prof. Yoav D. Livney […]
Microscopes have long been invaluable tools for biologists but getting a clear look at the smallest sub-cellular structures has always been tricky. In recent years, scientists developed a method to obtain a single super-resolved image of the sub-cellular structure by capturing a video instead of a single shot. This comes with a price of longer […]
Mastering the ABCs of perspective, scale, and hand-drafting are only part of what it takes to become an architect. You also need teamwork, compromise, and social responsibility. That’s why Technion Assistant Professor Dan Price and teaching fellow Michal Bleicher of the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning created Design-Build Studio 1:1 — a course that […]
What are the big scientific discoveries that will emerge from the Technion in the next 100 years? Award-winning science correspondent and journalist Ira Flatow and three leading voices from the Technion – former Technion President Peretz Lavie, Professor Hagit Attiya, and Associate Professor Ido Roll – revealed the ingredients that make the Technion so exceptional.
