Lead Researcher for New Space Missions and a Candidate for the Astronaut Selection Program The Netflix space drama Away follows the perils of a fictional expedition to Mars while gradually revealing the personal odysseys of its crew members. Listen to alumnus Eliad Peretz ’13 explore the challenges that instilled him with the right stuff to launch […]
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 […]
Digital platforms and technology — from Facebook and mobile phones to Zoom and virtual reality to online recommendations and shopping —now serve as the core fabric of our lives and our society, with consequences that are not always positive. In this Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute webinar, hear how the Connective Media Hub is building new human-centered […]
Technion Webinar With Professor Yasha Grobman Moving beyond traditional drafting boards, protractors, and mechanical pencils, Professor Yasha Grobman, an award-winning practicing architect, is developing innovative digital tools and techniques for architectural design and fabrication. His cutting-edge, digital Technion Computer Oriented Design Laboratory (T_CODE) and manufacturing workshop allow students to conduct interdisciplinary projects using methods such as virtual reality and physiological sensors. Hear Prof. Grobman examine ways high-tech can influence architectural design and performance. As the former Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Israel’s first such department, he talked about his vision for the department, which covers disciplines ranging…
Professor Ido Kaminer brings you inside the Robert and Ruth Magid Electron Beam Quantum Dynamics Lab, which houses an ultrafast transmission electron microscope. He discusses using the microscope, among the latest and most versatile of its kind in the scientific world, to see for the first time ever how light flows inside a tiny photonic […]
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 […]
Using innovative 3D printing technology, scientists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology had been able to help amputee children by creating prosthetic hands for them, an info-video revealed on Sunday. The children are involved in the design of the artificial hand and often view it in comic-book heroes’ terms such as Iron Man’s hand or Superman’s hand. The finished prosthetic is able to hold lightweight objects and provide the children a better sense of balance. The most immediate benefit is psychological, as the children no longer feel that their amputation makes them unusual and instead have a “cool bionic hand”…
Technion students and researchers are providing new hope for amputee children. Students from the Biorobotics and Biomechanics Lab in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, led by Prof. Alon Wolf — together with the nonprofit organization Haifa3D — are making 3D-printed prosthetic hands for children. While prosthetics are often prohibitively expensive, these limbs are given for […]
Professor Gil Yudilevitch of Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, together with students and alumni of the Reali School FIRST Robotics program, have designed a robotic platform that can be operated remotely by medical staff, reducing their risk of infection by COVID-19. Dubbed COROBOT, the platform will be used in Rambam Health Care Campus’ new Coronavirus Department. Safeguarding the health of medical workers has become an international priority in light of the pandemic. Whenever a medical worker is diagnosed with COVID-19, the entire medical team must self-isolate for extended periods of time. Already, thousands of medical professionals have been forced to…
Zeekit uses augmented reality to provide an interactive online shopping experience. With its virtual fitting room, the technology allows shoppers to see how an item will look on different body types. Zeekit’s Co-founder and CEO is Technion alumna Yael Vizel. She graduated from the Technion in 2010 with honors, earning numerous awards. Yael was a […]
An interdisciplinary team of scientists led by Distinguished Professor Mordechai Segev of the Technion’s Physics Department and Solid State Institute and Professor Erez Hasman of the Technion’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has developed a new and innovative scientific field: quantum metamaterials.
