At the Zimin Institute for AI Solutions in Health Care, innovation meets impact. Founded in 2022 through a partnership between the Zimin Foundation and the Technion’s Tech.AI.BioMed arm, the institute supports transformative research that applies artificial intelligence to real-world medical challenges. From diagnostics to drug discovery and patient care, AI is redefining what’s possible in […]
As technology becomes more ingrained in daily life, domestic abusers and perpetrators of human trafficking are using it in insidious new ways that can target their victims even from a distance. That’s why Nicola Dell, a computer and information scientist at Cornell Tech, studies technology-facilitated abuse and how to stop it. Her pioneering work helps survivors of intimate partner violence and human trafficking so they can regain their personal and digital safety. Dell’s research focuses on predicting and warding off the potential actions of attackers who can bypass many types of security precautions simply through their intimate knowledge of their…
A new Israeli study shows that listening to the sounds fish make while eating can enable real-time monitoring, early detection of disease and more precise feeding in aquaculture ponds. The research will be presented on Tuesday at the International Sea The Future 2026 conference in Eilat, hosted by the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry and the Negev, Galilee and National Resilience Ministry. Contrary to the common perception of the underwater world as silent, it is in fact rich with sound. Marine environments are filled with communication signals between animals, noises created by movement and even sounds accompanying everyday activities such…
Israeli researchers have developed an innovative method that enables medicine to be manufactured within the body itself. The pioneering approach, not yet tested on humans, uses live, harmless bacteria that act like tiny factories, producing therapeutic proteins inside the body, exactly where they are needed. “We are accustomed to thinking that to introduce a drug into the body, it must be manufactured in a factory and then delivered via a capsule or an injection,” said Prof. Boaz Mizrahi of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s lab for biomaterials in the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering. “This could be…
At the heart of Israel’s innovation ecosystem stands the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, a place where curiosity meets ambition and ideas become world-changing realities. The Technion’s legacy is not just in its classrooms and labs, but in the remarkable journeys of its graduates, who are shaping the future of artificial intelligence across the […]
There are at least two key resources vital for human existence and progress: Water and power. Israel has partly solved the water problem, with state-of-the-art desalination technology. Engineers figured out how to force high-pressure seawater through semi-permeable membranes that filter out salt and other impurities, leaving behind desalinated water – a process known as reverse osmosis. Some of the desalinated water is actually pumped into the Sea of Galilee, which is desperately shallow. As for energy, offshore natural gas deposits have helped ensure a reliable source of electric power for all Israelis, plus an unprecedented $35 b. gas contract for…
Over the past decade, there has been a growing understanding that we need to rethink not just how we build the structures of the future, but from what materials we build them. The main reason is that the construction industry is one of the world’s leading sources of environmental pollution. Cement production—the most widely used building material—alone accounts for roughly 8% of global carbon emissions. In response, science and technology are advancing to develop alternative, sustainable building materials with lower carbon footprints, often based on recycled resources while preserving strength and quality. As part of a joint initiative by researchers…
SpaceX has transformed the aerospace industry with its reusable rockets — radically lowering the cost of lifting satellites into space while bringing internet service to all corners of the globe with its Starlink network. Now, Elon Musk’s privately held company is eyeing what could be the largest initial public offering ever as it faces multiple challenges — including landing Americans on the moon, satisfying the billionaire’s ambitious if quixotic desires to colonize Mars and potentially putting AI data centers into orbit. The company is seeking to raise more than $30 billion with an IPO perhaps late next year that would…
Israel’s quantum computing sector is experiencing a breakout year. In 2025 alone, five Israeli quantum companies have raised almost $500 million, an influx of capital that places the country among the most active and diversified quantum hubs in the world. The companies – Quantum Art, Classiq, QuamCore, Qedma, and Quantum Machines – span nearly every layer of the quantum stack, from hardware and scaling architectures to control systems and error-correction software. Quantum Art announced a $100 million Series A, bringing its total funding to $124 million. The round was led by Bedford Ridge Capital with participation from Battery Ventures, Destra…
Apple is confronting the prospect of losing one of the most consequential executives behind its modern hardware renaissance. Israeli Johny Srouji, the senior vice president who built the company’s silicon program and oversees its hardware technologies group, has informed CEO Tim Cook that he is considering leaving in the near future, according to Bloomberg. Srouji is the most senior Israeli at the company and a central figure in the multi-year effort that moved Apple from Intel chips to its own highly regarded M-series processors. According to Bloomberg, Srouji has also told colleagues that he intends to join another company if…
After operating in near-total secrecy for more than eighteen months, Israeli startup Moonshot Space is emerging with an ambition rarely seen outside government laboratories. The company is developing a high-power electromagnetic launcher designed to propel objects to hypersonic speeds using electricity rather than chemical propellants, a technology it believes could reshape both orbital logistics and the global race for hypersonic capabilities. Moonshot has raised $12 million to date, led by Angular Ventures, including a $1 million grant from the Israel Innovation Authority. Founded in 2024, the company brings together a senior group of industry, defense, and government veterans: Hilla Haddad…
Marine viruses deploy a sophisticated Trojan horse maneuver that enables them to dismantle the energy systems of ocean bacteria and use the breakdown products for self-replication. This finding comes from a study conducted at the Technion Faculty of Biology published in Nature. The article is the result of a unique collaboration among three faculty members, Prof. Debbie Lindell, Prof. Oded Béjà, and Prof. Oded Kleifeld; and three young researchers — Dr. Omer Nadel, Dr. Rawad Hanna, and Dr. Andrey Rozenberg. Tiny cyanobacterial cells that live in the oceans play a crucial role in the global ecosystem, as they carry out photosynthesis to produce…
