Bat pups acquire their boldness through their mother’s milk, Tel Aviv University researchers find
“This is the first experiment of this kind ever conducted in bats, and also the first ‘nature vs. nurture’ study for animals’ boldness in an urban environment.
Carbon neutrality initiative comes as Tel Aviv University has placed efforts to combat climate change among its top priorities
The team will soon complete their mission and submit their findings to the Green Campus Committee and TAU’s senior management.
British-Israeli research partnership will fund groundbreaking science collaborations in aging research
As part of the conference, a new £1.6 million (NIS 7 million) grant program was launched for funding collaborations between Israeli and British researchers in the field of aging research. The call for proposals is now open.
Tel Aviv University researchers have discovered a mechanism that helps plants cope with water shortages
The researchers discovered that the ABA signal molecule is stored in an inactive state in the leaves themselves – in cells called mesophylls – that have a central role in photosynthesis.
The first of its kind in Israel: Tel Aviv University Center for Innovation Laboratories
The center’s financial approach is based on the industry taking on a significant part of the funding of the research, out of foresight and in a format that involves “club membership” that confers product development rights.
Israeli scientists discover the biological reason for squabbles over the air conditioning between men and women
For example, entire colonies in caves on the slopes of Mount Hermon are composed of only males during the breeding season, while in the warmer area of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), there are mainly females that give birth and raise their pups there. It was this phenomenon that aroused his curiosity.
Tel Aviv University researchers achieve breakthrough in the battle against metastatic breast cancer
The paper was published in the journal eLife under the title “Evolution of fibroblasts in the lung metastatic microenvironment is driven by stage-specific transcriptional plasticity.”
For the first time: The “God Particle” has been characterized by an Israeli team in its decay into a pair of charm quarks
In the mainstream media, the Higgs boson has often been called the “God particle” from the 1993 book The God Particle by the late Nobel laureate Prof. Leon Lederman, an American experimental physicist who received the prize in 1988 along with two others for research on neutrinos.
Just like humans, fruit bats in Tel Aviv enjoy the rich variety and abundance of food the city has to offer
In this new study, the researchers compared the nature of the movement of rural bats and city bats as they foraged for food.
Israel just invented the world’s thinnest technology – only two atoms thick
In the study, the researchers used a two-dimensional material – one-atom-thick layers of boron and nitrogen arranged in a repetitive hexagonal structure. In their experiment, they were able to break the symmetry of this crystal by artificially assembling two such layers.
