Dr. Assaf Glazer is CEO at Vinst, an exciting Israeli foodtech startup that offers an AI-powered cooking app, to help users organize recipes, personalize meals, and elevate the home-cooking experience… as well as a platform where you can print your very own family cookbook. A serial entrepreneur in a variety of areas where he finds […]
A groundbreaking wearable device is set to change how diabetes is managed through personalized, real-time care. Developed by researchers in Israel and China, the microneedle-based system offers a new level of patient support. It lets doctors and patients track disease markers and medication levels at the same time, without drawing blood. The device works in real time and is painless, providing critical health data through the skin’s interstitial fluid. Professor Hossam Haick of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology led the research with Sun Yat-sen University colleagues. Their findings were recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, highlighting the system’s…
Meet David (Dadi) Perlmutter, the newly appointed chairman of the Technion Council—the governing body that sets the course for Israel’s leading science and technology university. The Council is responsible for selecting the Technion’s president, guiding academic priorities, and steering the Institute’s long-term vision in research and innovation. It’s a role that calls for both strategic […]
This week, two Israeli neuroscientists have rolled out a blood test in the US and Israel that they say can measure the responsiveness of a patient with major depressive disorder to common antidepressants. Depression is one of the most common forms of mental disorder, affecting more than 330 million people worldwide. Treatment methods rely primarily on a taxing trial-and-error process to find the right prescription drug, which can take years. In Israel, the psychological toll of 23 months of war and counting has made the need for effective mental health treatment felt more than ever. The blood test, created by…
Dr. Eyal Orion did not dream of being an entrepreneur, certainly not a serial entrepreneur. He knew little about economics or entrepreneurship. By the age of 30, he had not yet decided what he truly wanted to do in life. Even while on a seemingly safe path at the Technion’s medical school, doubts about whether medicine was the right choice never gave him any rest. Today, nearly two decades later, he is one of the most prominent figures in Israel’s medical device industry. He spent his childhood in Ramat Efal as one of four siblings. His parents still live in…
Astronomers call a special kind of supernova a “cosmic yardstick” for good reason: The so-called Type Ia supernova gives off a predictable amount of light, making it a handy tool for measuring distances in space. These particular supernovas are useful but still puzzling, with scientists still unsure of what triggers their blasts. NASA estimates they happen only twice per millennium in the Milky Way. A leading idea has been that in an orbiting pair of white dwarfs — the remains of dead sun-size stars — one bursts apart almost immediately, while the other survives, perhaps hurtling away at breakneck speed…
White dwarfs — the superdense, slowly cooling embers left behind when stars like our sun die — are usually quiet cosmic relics. A rare few, however, are anything but. In recent years, astronomers analyzing data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft identified a handful of white dwarfs hurtling through the Milky Way at breakneck speeds of up to 1,240 miles per second (2,000 kilometers per second). That’s fast enough to zip from New York to Los Angeles in under two seconds — and to escape the galaxy entirely. These so-called hypervelocity white dwarfs have puzzled astronomers since their discovery…
Researchers from the Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences at the Technion have developed a technology capable of identifying various aspects of a reader’s interaction with a text that is based solely on their eye movements. The team’s findings were presented at Association for Computational Linguistics, a conference in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Vienna. The research was led by doctoral student Omer Shubi, together with master’s student Cfir Hadar, under the supervision of Dr. Yevgeni Berzak. People read texts with different goals. Whether it’s a novel, a cooking recipe, a newspaper article, or a scientific paper,…
Helen Buchumensky is director of standards and compliance, and head of global functional safety, at ARM Semiconductors & Automotive Operations… and of course, a proud Technion alum! In this is episode, she talks about starting music festivals, writing for teenage magazines, and soviet professionalism… She also tells us all about the concept of Functional Safety, […]
In the Stephen B. Klein Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion, bold ideas take flight. Established in 1954 by Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, the department has grown into a global leader in aerospace innovation, advancing the frontiers of propulsion, autonomous systems, and sustainable flight. World-class researchers and driven students work side by side to develop next-generation technologies that are shaping the future of space exploration, aviation, and defense. With cutting-edge facilities and a vibrant international community, the Technion is launching breakthroughs that are redefining what’s possible — in the skies and beyond.
