January 27, 2000
'Vision is the art of seeing things invisible,' wrote master of fantasy, Jonathan Swift. His voyages to kingdoms of changing visual scales served to emphasize the potential insights to be gleaned from viewing the world through continuously fresh perspectives. Weizmann I...

By Nofit Milstein REHOVOT, Israel - May 7, 1998 - Mix one party-loving, fun-seeking Israeli college student with one 12-year-old, newly-arrived Russian immigrant. Add one disadvantaged child whose father is in jail or an Ethiopian girl living in a cramped, shabby trailer...

February 1, 2000
Severing the spinal cord causes complete paralysis of the organs innervated by the central nervous system, from the point of injury downwards. In fact, even a partial injury of the spinal cord may cause complete paralysis. The main reason for this is that damaged fibers create a...

May 1, 1998
How does our brain cope with the enormous flux of information that bombards our senses? One important neural strategy is the ability to "cluster," or categorize, data and thus make sense of the world around us. Prof. Eytan Domany, head of the Weizmann In...

May 1, 1998
With electricity such a familiar part of our lives, measuring the electric current that flows through a material sounds fairly old hat. Yet Weizmann Institute scientists have made a surprising new discovery related to the behavior of electric currents in materials known as superc...

February 13, 2000
The age-old appeal to avoid 'shooting the messenger' is apparently left unheeded by the body's protein regulation system. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have recently uncovered one of the mechanisms underlying the synthesis and regulation of actin - the most abu...

February 13, 2000
A team of scientists from the Weizmann Institute and France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) has recently shown that the acetylcholine neurotransmitter plays a double role in learning and memory. While prior studies had already demonstrate...

February 13, 2000
Weizmann Institute scientists have managed to explain how superconductors penetrated by magnetic fields 'remember' the physical properties of electrical currents. A superconductor is a substance capable of conducting electricity without any resistance. Superconductors may prove p...

May 16, 2000
Is your music collection taking up too much space? How would you like to pack all of your music onto a single CD? Weizmann Institute scientists have recently taken a large step toward this miniaturization target. Reported in the March and May issues of Advanced Materi...

May 16, 2000
What is the smallest negative electric charge you can think of? Chances are that you quickly responded: 'an electron.' Indeed, ever since American physicist Robert Andrews Millikan first measured the charge of an electron nearly 80 years ago, this value has been widely regarded a...
