Findings by cancer researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology shed new light on why treated cancers recur. The discovery could provide the key for reducing recurrence, and allow anti-cancer drugs to do their intended work.
Using a simple membrane extract from spinach leaves, researchers have developed a cell that produces electricity and hydrogen from water using sunlight. Based on photosynthesis, and technology paves the way for clean fuels from renewable sources.
You'll never look at a drop of water the same way. By measuring a water droplet with a resolution comparable with the scale of a single atom, scientists have determined that the droplet interface behaves like a miniature stormy sea even when it appears to be at rest.
Technion scientists have developed a rapid, non-invasive and scalable method for growing CNTs on a smooth substrate. The breakthrough could help usher in the day when molecular electronics replace silicon chips as the building block of electronics.
An international team of researchers has determined that matching the structure of engineered blood vessels to the structure of the host tissues at the site of implantation greatly improves the chances that grafted tissues will survive and thrive.
An international team of researchers has found that nearly 2/3 of the herbal medicines used by cancer patients in the Middle East have potential negative effects. Among the remedies found to pose risks are gingko biloba, green tea, turmeric and black cumin.
Patented organic solar cell breakthrough could increase their efficiency to cost-effective levels. Buildings and rooftops could be wrapped in lightweight, flexible sheets of solar cells. Could also provide reliable power to isolated regions.
Fish, flies & bears, oh my! Research breakthrough gives genetic proof of how differences in (very different) animals develop.
Researchers at the Technion have used mechanical stimulation to “train” cardiac cells to beat at a given rate. The findings reveal the importance of mechanical communication, and could drive the development of new therapies for cardiovascular diseases.
Researchers in Israel and Germany have identified a link between the increased use of processed foods and the rise in the incidence of autoimmune diseases.
Technion scientists have developed a self-healing, flexible sensor that mimics the self-healing properties of human skin. Incidental scratches or cuts to the sensors "heal" themselves in less than one day.
A life-sized artificial human lung is the first diagnostic tool for understanding in real time how tiny particles behave in the deepest part of the human lungs. It could shed light on airborne pollution risks, and be used for the evaluation/design respiratory system drugs.
The tiniest of scanners could be a huge step forward in the fight against cancer. “Nanopore” scanners could save lives by detecting individual DNA molecules, making it possible to diagnose colorectal and lung cancers at their earliest stages.
By creating a computer game for chameleons, a team of Israeli researchers has found that the creatures' eyes are not really independent, as long believed, but rather engage in some sort of “cross talk."
An examination of 100 discarded dental implants under a scanning electron microscope found that more than 60 percent of them had cracks and other flaws that made them prone to fracturing. More than 3 million people in the U.S. alone have dental implants.
A student at Israel's Technion has developed a computerized learning system that can detect emotional sentiments, such as sarcasm and irony, in text messages and emails. It could help detect content that suggests suicidal ideations, or other "calls for help.”
Using optogenetics, researchers have established a new approach for pacing the heart and synchronizing its mechanical activity without a conventional electrical pacemaker. Could help avoid many drawbacks of electrical pacemakers.
Israeli scientists have discovered two cancer-suppressing proteins that could hold a key to controlling cancer cell growth and development. The previously undiscovered proteins were found during ongoing research on the ubiquitin system.
Pomegranates and dates are delicious, increasingly trendy, and healthy to boot. As it turns out, when consumed together they are a winning combination in the war against heart disease.
Taking their inspiration from the way nature designed fish scales, a multinational research team has developed a new, flexible material with superior anti-penetration properties. It could one day be used to make bulletproof clothing, space suits and more.
