April 28, 2004
Weizmann Institute scientist’s vision: Microscopic computers will function inside living tissues, performing diagnosis and administering treatment. The world’s smallest computer (around a trillion can fit in a drop of water) might one day go on record again as the tin...

July 20, 2000
Searching for a soul mate, new friends, or just fresh contacts? Turns out that proteins have similar 'goals.' However, shaking off their single status generally doesn't come easy. Biochemist, turned protein matchmaker, Dr. Gideon Schreiber of the Weizmann Institute of Scie...

December 22, 2004
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute use DNA to assemble nanosized electronic parts. Take a little DNA; add a pinch of carbon nanotubes; sprinkle in a few grains of gold, all on a clean silicon surface, and whip up a batch of nanotransistors – that’s pretty much what the...

December 22, 2004
Weizmann Institute scientists develop a new approach for directing treatment to metastasized prostate cancer in the bones When prostate cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer death among men, spreads in the body, it most often goes to the bone where it is particularl...
