Four Israeli tech companies have been named in this year’s annual list of Time magazine’s Best Inventions for creations “that are changing how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible,” the publication said. The global list of the 300 groundbreaking inventions includes Apple’s iPhone Duo, AI software that lets non-coders build websites, and […]
Since October 7, 2023, the global academic community has witnessed an unprecedented surge in campaigns to ostracize Israeli universities. What began as campus protests has hardened into “silent boycotts”—institutional breaks, journal desk rejections, and quiet exclusions from research consortia. Yet, those leading this isolation campaign fail to realize a fundamental truth: cutting ties with Israeli […]
Dark points within a changing wave pattern can shift faster than light, even while the waves carrying energy move far more slowly. An electron microscopy experiment has tracked that counterintuitive behavior in a thin material sample. The moving features are locations where a measured wave field cancels to zero. Their motion describes an evolving pattern, […]
A Breakthrough From the Technion Together with collaborators from leading medical centers in Israel, the United States, Europe, and Australia, Shamai and his team at the Technion have developed an AI model that predicts both the risk that breast cancer will return and whether a patient is likely to benefit from chemotherapy — offering a […]
At the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, the future often begins with a deceptively simple question: What can we do today that we could not do before? “Science and engineering have never been about yesterday’s tasks. They’ve always been about the future,” said Prof. Lihi Zelnik-Manor, vice president of External Relations and Resource Development at […]
The first satellite in the CloudCT network has transmitted its first observation from orbit, marking an early milestone for the Israeli-German research project studying clouds and polarized light from space. The image shows a view toward central France as the satellite passed over the Baltic Sea, according to a statement from the Technion – Israel […]
Los Angeles Unified School District recently announced it will bar student use of generative artificial intelligence on school devices for the 2026-27 academic year, joining New York City Public Schools in limiting children’s access to a technology no one yet knows how to safely manage. The nation’s two largest school districts made the move at […]
Artificial intelligence is not simply changing higher education — it is detonating old assumptions about how students learn and how professors teach. As universities worldwide grapple with how to respond, the Technion is working to confront the questions head-on. Here, AI is not treated as a threat but a catalyst, prompting careful reexamination at every […]
Every year, the European Research Council (ERC) identifies some of the world’s most promising early-career researchers and gives them the freedom to pursue bold ideas. This year, two of those ideas came from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. From cancer research to artificial intelligence (AI), breakthroughs that shape the future often begin with […]
Despite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s past calls to boycott Cornell Tech because of its partnership with Israel’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, city officials and Jewish community leaders on Wednesday announced a $250,000 investment in a Cornell Tech research initiative aimed at expanding New York City’s tree canopy to combat rising temperatures. New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin, the first Jewish woman to hold the post, and other officials unveiled the funding for Cornell Tech’s Urban Tech Hub at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute on Roosevelt Island. The grant will launch the Generative Tree Canopy Project, which will use…
As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of wildfires, Israel is testing a new autonomous drone system designed to spot fires before they grow into large-scale disasters, combining long-endurance aviation, artificial intelligence and advanced imaging technologies. The system completed its first flight test this week as part of a joint project involving the Israeli […]
From organizing grocery lists to solving the most complex algorithms, users everywhere know and love Microsoft Excel. Yair Helman, one of the leading minds behind the software, formed the foundation for his success at the Technion. With a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (1996), Helman leads Excel’s core engineering team at Microsoft’s development center in Herzliya, […]
