May 1, 1994
Institute mathematicians have made major strides in the continuing quest to transfer elements of human intelligence -- particularly vision and control of arm-movements -- to robots. One of the main difficulties in endowing robots with "vision" is teaching them to recognize t...

October 1, 1995
In 212 B.C.E., Archimedes is said to have used concentrated sunlight to torch the Roman fleet besieging Syracuse. Now Institute researchers have revived this ancient method to produce a high-temperature superconductor with potential industrial applications. The team of...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/mechanism-blood-pressure-regulation-clarified
May 1, 1994
A "dual action" control system that enables sodium channels to play a vital role in maintaining normal blood pressure has been discovered by Prof. Haim Garty, Dr. Carol Asher and co-workers at the Institute's Department of Membrane Research and Biophysics. Since abnormalities in...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/earth-sciences/new-method-predicts-groundwater-levels
October 1, 1995
A new method for determining whether a decrease in the levels of lakes without outlets -- such as the Dead Sea -- is accompanied by a parallel drop in the groundwater level of nearby aquifers has been developed in a new Institute study. Such a drop would mean that less water...
https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/math-computer-science/why-does-your-face-look-so-familiar
October 1, 1995
A new theory developed by a Weizmann Institute mathematician may explain one of the most remarkable and mysterious capacities of the brain -- its ability to recognize familiar objects even when conditions for viewing, such as lighting, distance or position, change d...
