An in-depth analysis of tech industry hiring trends highlights the unparalleled influence of the Technion in shaping Israel’s economy and security. Based on data from LinkedIn profiles of 8,360 graduates recruited by 28 leading tech companies between 2020 and 2024, the findings show that the Technion leads as the top supplier of tech talent for the Israeli subsidiaries of global giants such as Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Intel. Powering Israel’s Innovation Economy This impact is no coincidence. Technion President Professor Uri Sivan stated: “Technion graduates are the backbone of Israel’s economy and security, driving innovation, industry, and…
Everybody needs a buddy – especially Navy divers. Working underwater is physically taxing, visibility is low, and divers can easily become exhausted or suffer from insufficient oxygen or nitrogen narcosis, resulting in cognitive impairment. The problem with relying on a partner who can come to your rescue, however, is that they are vulnerable to the same conditions. That’s why Cornell researchers are working to understand how robots can assist humans in dangerous and physically challenging environments. “We have these tools with amazing capacity, but for them to work with people, they need to be able to understand people,” said Andrea…

This is the 16th year that Calcalist has ranked the 50 most promising private technology companies in Israel. To compile the list, we consulted a number of prominent investors, consultants, and entrepreneurs active in the Israeli market. We asked participants to identify the fastest-growing startups with the greatest potential to make significant business moves in the coming year, with an emphasis on companies not yet included in rating agency portfolios. After weighing the data and the range of expert opinions, Calcalist’s high-tech reporters and editors—well-versed in the inner workings of the tech sector—compiled this year’s list of the 50 most…
For delivery robots, not all sidewalks are created equal – some are uneven or clogged with people and bus shelters – so researchers at Cornell Tech developed a “robotability score” and rated every street in New York City on how hospitable it would be to robots. Their rating system is the first of its kind, researchers said, and may help urban planners and robotics companies plan for future robot deployments that won’t disrupt existing sidewalk environments. “I don’t know that everybody wants robots in their neighborhood, but if they do, the robotability score can help them think about, what are…
A Process of Translation This work builds on decades of prior research. In the late 1950s, the well-known American physicist Richard Feynman first proposed the idea of storing information in DNA. Then, in the 2010s, research teams from Harvard and Oxford independently conducted the first large-scale proof-of-concept experiments, inspiring the contemporary wave of research that […]
PTC is a U.S.-based global leader in software solutions, revolutionizing how products are designed, manufactured, and maintained. With 95% of Fortune 500 discrete manufacturing companies — spanning the aerospace, automotive, and health care industries — on its client roster, PTC is synonymous with innovation. So when the company sought a research partner with a bold, transformative mindset, the Technion was the natural choice. A Two-Way Street of Talent The PTC-Technion alliance stands as a model for how academia and industry can work together to push the boundaries of innovation, turning bold ideas into real-world advancements that will shape the industries…
A groundbreaking study from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology unveils a newly discovered form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum of photons confined in nanoscale structures – just a thousandth the width of a human hair. This discovery could play a key role in the future miniaturization of quantum communication and computing components. The study, published in Nature, was led by Ph.D. student Amit Kam and Dr. Shai Tsesses (now a postdoctoral researcher at MIT) from Prof. Guy Bartal’s research group, in collaboration with the groups of Distinguished Prof. Moti Segev and Prof. Meir Orenstein. Additional…
A rumor falsely claiming green card holders are banned from leaving and re-entering the U.S. spread like wildfire on TikTok this week, garnering more than 21 million views across dozens of videos shared by a network of nearly 40 accounts, many posing as Spanish-language news outlets to share immigration-related misinformation. The accounts have been sharing doctored videos that contain artificial intelligence-generated content and the voices of well-known professional journalists to spread misinformation about immigration and other divisive topics that tend to go viral on social media, according to Alexios Mantzarlis, director of the Security, Trust, and Safety Initiative at Cornell…
In 2019, Israel’s SpaceIL successfully launched its robotic lunar lander, Beresheet, into space. Although the vehicle crashed on landing, the mission made the Jewish state the seventh country to make a lunar orbit and the fourth country to attempt a soft landing on the Moon. Despite that impressive achievement, Israel is not exactly synonymous with space exploration or even deep-space technology, although it does have an active space-tech sector in areas such as surveillance satellite development. Experts say now is the time to accelerate deep-space efforts because this area is expected to become significant in the upcoming decades.
Storing digital content in DNA is an emerging technology that takes advantage of the molecule’s density, durability, and low power needs. DNA can last for generations, unlike NAND flash and HDDs that degrade in years or decades, at best. It also offers a data capacity about 100 million times higher than typical data storage systems. However, retrieving data from DNA storage is a complex and rather slow process. Good news, a breakthrough made by Israeli researchers speeds up the activity by 3,200 times, reports TechXplore. A team at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has created an AI tool that…
Israel’s oldest university is playing an integral role in tearing down walls between academia and business, helping the so-called “Startup Nation” better compete in future-facing industries at a time of rapid technological change. Technion – Israel Institute of Technology was founded in 1924, 24 years before the establishment of Israel, on the idea that if a Jewish state were to come into existence, it would first need technical expertise to develop the country. Most of Israel’s railroads, highways and bridges were designed and built by Technion grads, along with its advanced telecom infrastructure, desalination plants and electrical grid. Chip design,…
