October 1, 2000
Newly arrived at the Weizmann Institute of Science: DNA chips -- built of the stuff that genes (and research dreams) are made of. Offering greatly improved means for probing the molecular roots of disease and examining fundamental questions in the life sciences, DNA chi...

October 1, 2000
Having received the command, the computer starts churning out information, systematically filling in tables and charting graph after graph. This may sound like a dream research scenario, yet as most scientists would quickly point out, it's just the beginning. The true challe...

October 2, 2005
An iron storage molecule in the cell, with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can serve as an advanced tool for mapping gene expression. Prof. Michal Neeman of the Weizmann Institute's Biological Regulation Department, together with Dr. Batya Cohen of...

October 2, 2005
The first matter that came into being right after the Big Bang may not have been quite what scientists had expected. This conclusion emerged recently from the large-scale PHENIX experiment carried out in the United States by a team of 460 physicists from 12 countries, includ...

October 2, 2005
Life thrives in all sorts of hostile environments, including the extreme salinity of the Dead Sea. For over 30 years, Weizmann Institute scientists have been investigating how Dunaliella salina, a microscopic, plant-like alga, is able to proliferate in such inhospitable surr...

October 1, 2000
Having completed a working draft of the human genome, widely hailed as one of the most significant intellectual achievements of all time, one might think that those involved would head home for a well-earned vacation. Far from it. They've rolled up their sleeves and are...
