December 25, 2019
An international conference on “Promoting gender equality in physics: Barriers and opportunities,” was recently held at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Physicists – women and men – from around the world were joined by social scientists in the workshops and discussions, each b...

January 23, 2020
If you took all the fish in the ocean and weighed them, how much biomass would that be? Now add all the crabs and herring, the tiny krill and the giant whales that feed on them, the marine bacteria and plankton. That is still far below the biomass on land, and a new census of lif...

January 7, 2020
A host of disease-causing viruses called arenaviruses lurk in animal populations in various parts of the world, sometimes crossing over into humans. When they do cross over, they can be lethal, and only very few treatments exist. Researchers led by scientists at the Weizmann Inst...

January 9, 2020
We can learn a great deal about total strangers just by knowing where they spend their time. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have applied this idea to shedding new light on parts of the human genome – more specifically, on lncRNAs (pronounced link-RNAs). Little i...

February 27, 2020
It is not too difficult to separate a positive electric charge from a negative one, but the same cannot be done, in nature, for the two ends of a magnet: Each pole is inseparable from its opposite. A group at the Weizmann Institute of Science not only created a sort of magnetic m...

January 16, 2020
It was the hardest dilemma of his life: Should he devote himself to music, turn to understanding the secrets of life or follow the path of artistic expression? Abraham (Avrumi) Amsterdam, today an emeritus professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science, was in his late teens. Cho...

January 27, 2020
The very name “disordered proteins” suggests that something is off about protein molecules that hang loose spaghetti-style instead of being neatly folded into 3D structures. But a new study at the Weizmann Institute of Science, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy...

January 13, 2020
A new computer algorithm can predict in the early stages of pregnancy, or even before pregnancy has occurred, which women are at a high risk of gestational diabetes – according to a study by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science reported today in Nature Medicine. The s...
