June 7, 2017
The tiny cone-shaped “skimmers” used in experiments looking for exotic chemical-quantum phenomena resemble the intake mechanisms of aircraft engines, and they perform similar functions: Each directs the flow of gas – the engine intake controls the supply of air for burning fuel,...

May 11, 2017
Weizmann Institute scientists have developed two new databases aimed at advancing personalized medicine. These databases, which combine biological and biomedical information with the use of computational technologies, were created by the team of Prof. Doron Lancet of Weizmann’s M...

July 20, 2017
Scientists have managed to design microscopic silk capsules that mimic, on a very small scale, the structure of silkworm cocoons. The capsules can serve as a protective environment for the transport of sensitive “cargo” such as natural silk proteins, antibodies or other delicate...

May 25, 2017
Same difference To make sense of sensory stimulation like light waves, sound waves or tactile stimuli, our sensory organs turn the signals into electrical impulses. These impulses travel along a neural pathway from one brain region to another, where they are processed and inte...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/rare-genetic-defect-may-lead-cancer-drug
May 17, 2017
The path to understanding what goes wrong in cancer could benefit from a detour through studies of rare childhood diseases. Dr. Ayelet Erez explains that cancer generally involves dozens – if not hundreds – of mutations, and sorting out the various functions and malfunctions of e...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/getting-rid-old-cells
May 17, 2017
One of the things that happens to our bodies as we age is that certain cells start to accumulate. So-called senescent cells – cells that “retire” and stop dividing but refuse to undergo cellular death – are always present, and they even serve some important functions, in...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/chemistry/self-organization-makes-efficient-separation
May 17, 2017
Separation technology is at the heart of water purification, sewage treatment and reclaiming materials, as well as numerous basic industrial processes. Membranes are used to separate out the smallest, nanoscale particles and even molecules and metal ions. Prof. Boris Rybtchinski...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/scientific-archaeology/jerusalem-tower-younger-thought
June 15, 2017
Gihon Spring, just downhill from the ancient city of Jerusalem, was crucial to the survival of its inhabitants, and archaeologists had uncovered the remains of a massive stone tower built to guard this vital water supply. Based on pottery and other regional findings...

June 5, 2017
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, yet the few available treatments are still mostly unsuccessful once the heart tissue has suffered damage. Mammalian hearts are actually able to regenerate and repair damage – but only up to around the time of bi...
