Prof. Yakar Kannai

Looking Forward to predicting disease

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Yakar Kannai: "I work at the interface between abstract mathematics and everyday reality. I expect to find ever more ways of using mathematics to contribute to an understanding of the real world, to benefit humankind."
Prof. Mordehai Milgrom

Looking Forward to interpreting the movements of galaxies

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Mordehai Milgrom: "Of course, I enjoy the recognition brought about by my discoveries; but what is much more gratifying to me is the process I went through in trying to understand how the universe works and why galaxies exist as we know them – the knowledge that I've had a part in the revealing of truth."
Prof. Yoseph Imry

Looking Forward to envisioning free-flowing electric current

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Yoseph Imry: "Soon after the Weizmann Institute was founded, my friends and I rode our bikes from Tel Aviv to Rehovot to visit the new Institute. That was a real adventure – one that exposed me to the possibility of doing science from morning to night. Since then, science has held more than one surprise for me. I'm awaiting the next adventure."  
Dr. Ehud Altman

Looking Forward for a new kinds of superconductors

Dr. Ehud Altman: "Nothing can compare to the feeling you get at the moment of understanding something new, something we didn't know before. I look forward to many more of these moments." Nonresistance Heats Up.
Prof. Daniella Goldfarb

Looking Forward to improved methods for probing enzyme activity

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Daniella Goldfarb: "My dream is to develop EPR methods that can reveal enzymatic activities occurring in short (millisecond) time scales and use them to produce a 'movie' that shows the changes taking place both in the enzyme's active core and in the entire enzyme as it takes part in the reaction."  
Dr. Barak Dayan

Looking Forward for a future quantum technologies

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Barak Dayan: "I want to learn how to control single photons in the way we control electrons today. Once we can do that, the fields of computing and communication will make a leap to the quantum world, bringing within our reach the vast possibilities offered by its unique and fascinating rules."
Prof. Ada Yonath

Looking Forward to deciphering the secrets of protein manufacture

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Ada Yonath: "Ribosomes are the essence of life. In the future, we would like to understand how the very first ribosomes came into being."  
Dr. Boris Rybtchinski

Looking Forward to create self-assembling solar collectors

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Boris Rybtchinski: "In the future, I hope we'll be smart enough to replace the burning of coal and oil with advanced self-assembling systems that will make the most of solar energy."  
Dr. Ron Milo

Looking Forward to improvements on natural photosynthesis

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Dr. Ron Milo: "Our future depends on breakthroughs in the use of energy, water and land. My students and I will bring all of our motivation and talent to bear on the challenge of utilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide to make food and fuel, a key issue in the quest to live in a sustainable world."
Prof. Adi Kimchi

Looking Forward to observing a cell's path to self-destruction

01.11.2009
People and Events›People
Prof. Adi Kimchi: "My aim is to reveal the complete self-destruct network. This understanding will help us to fix problems – both those of excess cell death, as in degenerative nerve diseases, and those in which harmful cells fail to die, such as cancer."
