Mexico City’s Topos Azteca search and rescue brigade has been using Israeli technology to access areas still too dangerous for humans to enter in search of victims buried under the rubble in Venezuela’s La Guaira earthquake sites. The death toll in Latin America’s largest natural disaster in decades has risen to over 2,600, and while hopes of finding more survivors diminish, search and rescue teams are not stopping. Dozens of countries have sent personnel to the disaster areas, including Syria’s White Helmets (the Syria Civil Defense humanitarian aid volunteer organization). Despite not having diplomatic relations with Caracas for 17 years,…

On the eve of Israel’s 78th Independence Day, Prof. Uri Sivan says the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology sees ‘Israel’s security, Israel’s economy, and Israel’s society’ as central to its work, even as war, reserve duty and academic boycotts test the institution’s resilience. As Israel remains at war and many of its students continue to cycle between campus and reserve duty, those guiding them see their mission extending beyond academic excellence alone to include the needs of the state itself. Speaking ahead of Israel’s 78th Independence Day, Technion President Prof. Uri Sivan says the country’s flagship engineering school has…
On a recent morning at the Shulich Faculty of Chemistry at Haifa’s Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, three post-doctoral students from India were immersed in their research experiments. The lab was crowded with glass beakers, bottles, test tubes, and syringes. Suddenly, a siren blared, indicating a possible incoming Iranian ballistic missile. The students calmly filed out of the Ashraf Brik lab, as though this drill were part of normal procedure, and headed for the protected room down the hall. One didn’t bother to take off his white lab coat and gloves. After about 10 minutes, the students returned to…
