February 26, 2018
Clever materials are needed for producing, converting and storing energy in sustainable ways. And what could be cleverer than materials that repair themselves? Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now proved that such self-healing occurs inside halide perovskites...

March 5, 2018
Male mice are allured by scent, particularly by behavior-changing chemical signals called pheromones that are released by females. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now discovered how a pheromone-processing mechanism in the brain determines the sexual preferen...

March 7, 2018
Three papers published tomorrow in Nature answer a question that scientists have been asking ever since Galileo first observed the famous stripes of Jupiter: Are the colorful bands just a pretty surface phenomenon, or are they a significant stratum of the planet? The Weizmann Ins...

March 13, 2018
Ants can adjust their foraging activities to match the hunger level of their overall colony just through individual interactions between foragers and their nestmates according to new findings published in eLife. The study, from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, sheds...

March 15, 2018
How do you stop light in midflight and hold on to it – even for a fraction of a second? This ability could be crucial to such future quantum optical systems as secure communications or new kinds of information technologies. A group led by Dr. Ofer Firstenberg at the Weizmann Inst...

March 22, 2018
Molecules mostly get depicted as static objects – for example, as balls held together with sticks, like children’s toys. The balls in these models represent the atomic nuclei and the sticks are the bonds created by the electrons; from the relative positions of these sticks and ba...
