https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/space-physics/light-shed-radiation-outer-space
October 1, 1995
The origin of cosmic rays -- the radiation that provides intriguing insights into the nature of matter throughout the universe -- may have been clarified in a new Institute study, parts of which appeared in a recent issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters. Profs. Mordehai Mil...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/tuberculosis-bacteria-may-protect-against-autoimmune-disease
October 1, 1995
Institute researchers have identified a bacteria-derived protein that protects animals from experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), a disease closely resembling multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans. This research provides a potential starting point for designing additional...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/math-computer-science/international-protein-data-bank-enhanced-computer-browser
October 1, 1995
Access to the Protein Data Bank (PDB), a major international resource archiving the three-dimensional structures of thousands of proteins, nucleic acids and other biological macromolecules, has been greatly enhanced by a computer utility developed through a collaboration of Weizm...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/tumor-dependence-blood-vessels-traced
October 1, 1995
The dependence of tumor growth on the development of new blood vessels was, for the first time, traced in vivo through a noninvasive procedure developed at the Institute and described in a recent issue of Cancer Research. A major concept in solid tumor physiology states that...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/chemistry/sea-urchins-may-inspire-development-stronger-materials
October 1, 1992
A team of Weizmann Institute and Brookhaven National Laboratory chemists has discovered that the suprisingly strong flexible spines of sea urchins are made of a most unusual composite material. This research, published recently in Science, has given rise to novel concepts in mate...

October 1, 1995
When Dr. Klara Vinokur came to Israel four years ago, after leaving her post as a physicist with the Georgian Academy of Sciences, people told her she'd never make it in an all-male field where thousands of immigrant scientists were competing for a handful of jobs. Today she...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/chemistry/tiniest-switches-promise-ultracompact-computer-memories
October 1, 1995
A unique organic molecule that my pave the way toward the design of incredibly compact digital storage devices or computer memories has been developed by Weizmann Institute scientists. The researchers -- a team or organic chemists including graduate student Lior Zelikovich,...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/summer-science
September 30, 1995
For 11-year-old Yonatan Simchi, "hands-on-science" took on tangible meaning this summer. As one of 63 youngsters in the Institute's new science day camp for grades 5 to 8, Yonatan participated in actual experiments, including one in phase changes, in which he dipped...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/math-computer-science/how-brain-recognizes-objects
October 1, 1992
A Weizmann Institute-Brown University study has shown that object recognition by the human brain is far simpler than has been commonly thought, a finding that may facilitate the design of more effective vision-related systems, ranging from household robots to smart weapons....
