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,…
At the Jerusalem Post 2024 Annual Conference, Steven Fuld, a member of the Board of Directors for the American Technion Society (ATS), spoke about the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology as Israel’s “beacon of innovation nestled in the hills of Haifa.” Fuld noted the ATS’s substantial financial contributions to support advanced science and technology […]
For more than 40 years, Avi Wigderson has studied problems. But as a computational complexity theorist, he doesn’t necessarily care about the answers to these problems. He often just wants to know if they’re solvable or not, and how to tell. “The situation is ridiculous,” said Wigderson, a computer scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. No matter how hard a question seems, an efficient way to answer it could be hiding just out of reach. “As far as we know, for every problem that we face and try to solve, we can’t rule out that…
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, […]

Hear From One of Technion’s Rising Stars 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. […]
The Technion is home to Northern Israel’s first research MRI. Located in the May-Blum-Dahl Human MRI Research Center, it is a symbol of the Technion’s ongoing commitment to scientific excellence and human health advancement. Until now, Technion researchers had no choice but to visit other facilities to use an MRI scanner—an essential tool for […]
