Though invisible to the naked eye, every light wave contains tiny points of complete darkness. For half a century, scientists have theorized that these “dark points” move even faster than the light waves in which they’re formed. Thanks to a group of researchers from the Technion’s Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer […]
Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to help guide whether to administer chemotherapy directly after tumor resection in breast cancer patients. The model, which uses high-resolution images from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tumor samples collected at the time of diagnosis, predicts both the risk of cancer recurrence and the likelihood that a patient will benefit from chemotherapy. The research, published in The Lancet Oncology, identifies patterns and signals in the tumor that might otherwise escape detection. “These are complex biological signals that the human eye cannot consistently quantify,” said…
As the crew of Artemis II—NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen—prepare to splash down on Earth after a landmark 10‑day voyage around the moon, attention now turns to their return. What Is Artemis 2? Artemis II is NASA’s first crewed test flight of the Artemis program. It sends four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on a mission that loops around the moon and returns to Earth. The crew lifted off at 6:35 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on April 1 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA says Artemis II’s goal…
For quite a while, someone has been living inside my computer, writing emails for me. I don’t recall signing up for this artificial intelligence feature, which is like having a word valet. It’s in my phone, too, which offers three serviceable but impersonal responses I can fire off to someone who has just sent me an email pitching a story or asking if I want to meet for coffee. “I’d like to do coffee,” was one of the suggested responses to a recent email. “Let me circle back soon about timing.” One argument for these features is that they can…
The Technion — Israel Institute of Technology was ranked the best university in computer science and artificial intelligence research in Israel and Europe. It was also ranked 21st worldwide, according to an index unveiled by CSRankings on Monday. The index was created using the number of peer-reviewed conference papers published by Technion researchers between 2005 and 2025 at the world’s leading computer science conferences, highlighting the Technion as one of the leading institutions in AI research and development. The institute was also ranked among the top ten most important universities when investigating Machine Learning, a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. The…
Ali Ayoub told the Globes Putting the North at the Center Conference that Nvidia does not see the north as a periphery but as the center of the AI revolution. “I was born and raised in the (Galilee) village of Majd al-Krum and was infatuated by the field of technology from an early age. I remember my father buying us a computer, which was not a given. I shared the computer with my brothers,” Nvidia VP software engineering Ali Ayoub told Globes technology editor Assaf Gilead at the Globes Putting the North at the Center Conference held in cooperation with…
In recent decades, growing resources have been invested in the field of hydrogen as a raw material that aligns with the vision of a green economy and the use of sustainable energy. Hydrogen production is not a new process, but the aspiration to protect the environment and improve efficiency presents numerous technological challenges. A group of researchers at the Technion – Israel Institue of Technology and Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology is presenting a breakthrough in the field – a development expected to significantly improve hydrogen storage capacity for future use. Growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by human…
Built to protect pedestrians from falling debris, the ubiquitous sidewalk shed has become an unfortunate defining feature of New York City life. And while we can applaud the new, improved designs for these eyesores, we need to get smarter about how to keep fewer of them up and for shorter periods of time. Simply making sidewalk sheds prettier is merely putting “lipstick on a pig” — no offense to pigs. We can do better. As of last year, the city had more than 8,000 active sidewalk shed permits on file. More than 400 have been up for more than half…
Artificial intelligence is so much more than the latest buzzword. By blurring the line between human and technology, AI has proven its staying power and will undoubtedly shape the future of life on Earth. It is also no secret that when it comes to AI innovation, Israel punches above its weight class. I recently called upon the brightest minds in Israel to take an active role in shaping AI applications on a global scale, setting ethical standards and ensuring that this technology is used for good. When I think of Israel’s AI prowess, I can’t help but place the Technion…
The magnitude of artificial intelligence’s potential can cloud our imagination when trying to understand its specific real-world impact. Fortunately, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and its expansive network of alumni around the world are working each day to ensure that its potential is honed for good and advance true transformation that we can see with our own eyes. One such alum is Jonathan Spitz, founder of AI start-up GaussML. He leverages physical AI—the new frontier of AI innovation that will bring about a future where robots are our helpful friends, rather than the villains of science fiction. I…
California’s most devastating wildfire – the 2018 Camp Fire, which killed 85 and destroyed nearly 19,000 structures – forced nearly half of all residents living within designated fire perimeters to relocate within a year. That local exodus is documented by Cornell-led research that mapped annual moves between U.S. neighborhoods from 2010 to 2019 in detail 4,600 times greater than standard public data. Called MIGRATE, the new, publicly available dataset revealed that most of those displaced remained within the affected county – moves not captured in county-level public migration data aggregated every five years. The case study illustrates how a finer-grained…
