What separates the few cancer cells that survive chemotherapy – leaving the door open to recurrence – from those that don’t? Weizmann Institute scientists developed an original method for imaging and analyzing many thousands of living cells to reveal exactly how a chemotherapy drug affects each one.
Making Connections
18.12.2008
A new programme to enhance scientific collaborations between the UK and Israel Top-level research institutions in the UK and Israel will collaborate, thanks to a bold new initiative of Weizmann UK. The programme – entitled ‘Making Connections’ – will bring together scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel with their counterparts from the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London (ICL) and University College London (UCL).
Scientists Reveal Soot’s Role in Climate Change

Climate
Scientists' findings may cause climatologists to rethink soot’s role in shaping the Earth’s climate. The scientists believe their findings may help both climate modelers and policy-makers to understand the true climatic consequences of burning trees or sooty industrial fuels.

More than 80 years have passed since the German scientist Hans Spemann conducted his famous experiment that laid the foundations for the field of embryonic development. After dividing a salamander embryo in half, Spemann noticed that one half – specifically, the half that gives rise to the salamander’s 'belly'(ventral) starts to wither away.

Weizmann Institute Scientists Find New 'Quasiparticles'
02.06.2008
Quantum Physics
Weizmann Institute physicists have demonstrated, for the first time, the existence of 'quasiparticles' with one quarter the charge of an electron. This finding could be a first step toward creating exotic types of quantum computers that might be powerful, yet highly stable.

Weizmann Institute scientists reveal the invasion strategy of the world’s largest virus A Weizmann Institute study provides important new insights into the process of viral infection. The study, reported in the on-line journal PLoS Biology, reveals certain mechanisms by which mimivirus – a virus so called because it was originally thought to mimic bacteria in various aspects of their behavior – invades amoeba cells.
