November 1, 2009
Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph earned his Ph.D. in physics from the Weizmann Institute in 1986. His research lies in the area of nanoelectronics. He studies the interactions of electrons in very thin semiconductor structures and the effect of these interactions on light emis...

August 30, 2010
What is the meaning of the Universe? A thousand years from now, our computers still will not be answering such questions. Other types of questions are theoretically answerable, but they may require an impossible amount of resources in practice. Where, then, is the div...

November 1, 2009
Prof. Gady Kozma: "We aim to understand how geometry affects phase transitions. It's important to me to study possibilities in three-dimensional space that can be applied to the real world, and not just in high-dimensional space." Changing Paths What are the chances a...

August 30, 2010
God does not play dice with the Universe,” was Einstein’s famous retort to the uncertainty principle – nowadays one of the basic tenets of modern physics. Certain aspects of material existence do seem truly random; they lack order and can never be completely p...

November 1, 2009
Prof. Shimon Ullman: "I expect the day will come when we can write a computer program that will learn on its own how to use vision to understand the world. The computer will be able to identify the situation it 'sees' through a camera (say a dog, ears back and tail up, facing a c...

November 1, 2009
Dr. Anat Levin: "Computer files contain a lot of information, and I hope to research their properties to reveal new ways to get at and use that information. Interesting subjects for future work include dynamic range, color correction, motion blur and extracting information on ill...

November 1, 2009
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...

November 1, 2009
Dr. Avishay Gal-Yam: "We've already discovered two new types of supernovae and continue to search for more. As we take part in the international effort to map and observe supernovae, we hope to improve our understanding of the physical processes involved." Shooting for...

November 1, 2009
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 h...
