When archeology meets the exact sciences: University of Haifa and the Technion launch new collaboration
The Technion and Haifa University held a scientific conference on Wednesday as part of a first-of-its-kind collaboration on technological methods in archeology and the study of marine cultures. Eight archaeologists who are already utilizing technology in their studies gave lectures describing their work. Archaeologists from the University of Haifa presented their research on DNA extraction […]
A better way to create batteries for electric vehicles discovered at Technion
Several discharge-charge cycles were achieved using heavy doped n-type Si wafer anodes and specially designed hybrid based ionic liquid electrolytes, tailored with halides (bromine and Iodine), functioning as conversion cathodes.
Tiny ‘taxis,’ ‘tanks’ and ‘ghosts’ developed in Haifa join the war against cancer
This development is a significant breakthrough in the field of immunotherapy – an innovative medical approach that has become one of the most promising trends in cancer treatment.
Membranes developed at the Technion and Germany enable precise selective separation of nanoparticles
Now, researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and the Helmholz-Zentrum Hereon Center in Germany have developed a new concept for fabricating membranes for on-demand nanoparticle separation with high selectivity.
Haifa researchers have succeeded in changing a material’s electrical properties by vacating an oxygen atom from the original structure
“The [Biden] administration abstained on an issue of hate and bigotry,” said Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values. “This is not moral leadership.”
Haifa scientists discover emergency pathway to help human cells with protein damage survive
Their study has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communication under the title “The 20S as a stand-alone proteasome in cells can degrade the ubiquitin tag.”
Technion scientists create innovative ‘nano-taxis’ for shuttling therapeutics directly to nerve cells
In essence, the nanovesicles (or taxis) masquerade as neurons, resulting in their being recognized and welcomed by other neurons, making it possible for them to deliver their therapeutic cargo.
Technion scientists device innovative way to fight breast cancer in lab mice
The researchers found that cancer cells have a reciprocal relationship with the nerve cells around them; the cancer cells stimulate infiltration of nerve cells into the tumor, and this stimulates cancer cell proliferation, growth and migration. In other words, the cancer cells recruit the nerve cells for their purposes.
Israelis on international research team examine ways to charge lithium-ion batteries for cars in less time
In addition, concentration polarization by a slow lithium-ion transport within the electrolyte phase in the porous electrodes also limits the charging rate.
Israeli breakthrough: Cells expressing tendon markers fuse into muscles
These dual identity cells are fibroblast-derived, yet they express myogenic transcriptional programs and fuse into the tips of the developing muscle fibers along the muscle-tendon junctions, facilitating the introduction of fibroblast-specific transcripts into the elongating myofibers.
