For more than two millennia, mathematicians have produced a growing heap of pi equations in their ongoing search for methods to calculate pi faster and faster. The pile of equations has grown into the thousands, and algorithms now can generate an infinitude. Each discovery has arrived alone, as a fragment, with no obvious connection to the others. But now, for the first time, centuries of pi formulas have been shown to be part of a unified, formerly hidden structure. Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter and you get pi. But what, exactly, are its digits? Measuring physical circles won’t…
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…
Haifa’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is ranked first in Israel and Europe and 21st worldwide in the international CSRankings index for computer sciences, the university says. The ranking is based on the number of peer-reviewed conference papers published by Technion researchers between 2005 and 2025 at the world’s leading conferences in a variety of AI subfields, placing it among the world’s top 60 universities in each. In Machine Learning, the Technion is ranked first in Israel, first in Europe, and 10th worldwide. “Hundreds of our faculty members apply advanced AI-based methods across a wide range of fields, including data science,…
Long before a star ignites, its birth is shaped by invisible particles racing through space at near-light speed. These cosmic rays quietly alter the chemistry and temperature inside dark clouds, helping determine when the clouds can collapse and begin forming stars. For the first time, astronomers have directly measured the influence of these particles inside a dense, starless cloud, providing a long-sought reading from the heart of a stellar nursery. The discovery offers a more precise way to understand how stars – and eventually planets – begin. A measurable stellar cloud Barnard 68 is a small, cold cloud of gas…
Patent registration involves prestige as well as significant money. Commercial companies file patents and reap major profits, but academic institutions also benefit from the innovations developed by their researchers. Israel holds a respected position in this arena, and for the fifth consecutive year, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology ranked among the Top 100 institutions for U.S. patent approvals. The latest ranking places the Technion first in Israel, second in Europe, and within the list of the world’s 100 leading institutions for U.S. patent approvals in 2025. The Technion ranked 81st globally, with 46 patents approved during the year,…
When one of the world’s largest aerospace companies chooses an academic partner, it sends a powerful message. When that partner is the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, the message is even clearer: world-changing innovation is happening in Israel — and it is being driven by excellence. Boeing and the Technion have marked a major […]
The Technion Shines in World Rankings: Top 100 in Shanghai Rankings in Six Fields The Technion has once again proven its global leadership in science and technology. The University ranked among the world’s top 100 institutions in six key academic disciplines and secured the #1 position in Israel in 16 research areas, including, for the […]
Seeing a Different Kind of Picture While Prof. Bekenstein is transforming how images are detected, Prof. Kaminer is redefining how they are created. His project, known as Stork, addresses a longstanding limitation of transmission electron microscopes — tools essential for studying biological tissues and advanced materials. These microscopes often struggle with low-contrast images, making it […]
While our understanding of artificial intelligence’s exact impact on society remains incomplete, its potential to touch every sector of our lives is well known and highly promising for science and scientific discoveries. However, we are at a critical juncture where we must answer lingering concerns and questions surrounding AI’s influence on society before continuing to scale its power. What kinds of data should AI models be able to access? Is AI safe to use in healthcare? Will AI eliminate much-needed jobs? Ultimately, what does it look like to develop and use AI technology responsibly and ethically? We acknowledge that we…
Prof. Jacob “Yasha” Grobman has been appointed the new director of the Israel Museum and will take up the post in March, the museum announced Tuesday.

On any given day at the Technion dormitories, you might see parents pushing strollers through the hallways. Students preparing Shabbat dinner in the communal kitchen. International students honing their Hebrew. IDF reservists reflecting on their experiences in Gaza. “The Technion dorms feel like home,” said one student. “The ability to knock on a neighbor’s door […]
Twenty-five years ago, carrying your data meant lugging around floppy disks or burning CDs — today, terabytes (TB) of information fit into a device no larger than a key. That transformation was recently celebrated at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology with a special event marking 25 years since the invention of the USB […]
