Since the ‘80s, when Voyager 2 discovered extremely high atmospheric winds on Uranus and Neptune, the vertical extent of those winds has been a scientific puzzle. Now, a team led by Weizmann’s Dr. Yohai Kaspi has found a way, based on a novel method for analyzing gravitational fields, to determine an upper limit for the atmospheric layer’s thickness.

Cancer Therapy Reprograms Patient’s Cells
A decades-old “audacious idea” by Weizmann’s Prof. Zelig Eshhar helped create a cancer treatment that has now led to full remissions in almost 20 adult and pediatric blood-cancer patients. Considered the “future of cancer” by many, the therapy programs the patient’s own immune cells to recognize and attack cancer.
