Weizmann in Focus, Episode 6: Toward a More Secure (Online) World

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/video-gallery/weizmann-in-focus-episode-6-toward-a-more-secure-online-world/

Jun 24, 2019... Technology can make our lives easier, but it also leaves us vulnerable to hackers. In the sixth episode of Weizmann in Focus, CEO Dave Doneson explores how Weizmann scientists are leading the way in cybersecurity. In a recent breakthrough, renowned cryptographer Prof. Adi Shamir exposed a major weakness in the “Internet of Things,” the growing world of smart devices that connect online. His groundbreaking work could result in better methods for keeping our private information safe.

It's All in the Detail: Impressive New Approach to Super-Resolution Processing Developed
It's All in the Detail: Impressive New Approach to Super-Resolution Processing Developed

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/it-s-all-in-the-detail-impressive-new-approach-to-super-resolution-processing-developed/

Aug 02, 2012... Ever taken a digital photograph and then found out you had missed the fine details that made the scene so impressive visually? Applying a Photoshop sharpen filter may make the photo appear sharper, but such filters are lossy — they actually reduce the amount of fine detail in the image. Until recently, there was very little you could do to improve the image after the shot. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now developed a super-resolution process which pulls unseen details from the nooks and crannies of a single digital photograph. Their process can capture true detail which cannot be seen in the original image — the next "killer app"?

Searching for Dark Matter
Searching for Dark Matter

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/searching-for-dark-matter/

Sep 23, 2014... Dr. Ran Budnik
Dark matter is one of the most striking unsolved mysteries in physics today. Scientists have yet to detect it directly, but almost all measurements of the motion of galaxies, the evolution of the universe, and the behavior of matter in the known universe have led scientists to believe that there must be a tremendous amount of mass in the universe that is not made of conventional matter.

Years of intense lab work in Israel have led to the world’s first artificial cell-on-a-chip, an exciting development with many potential applications.
“The idea to mimic a living cell is a longstanding dream shared by many,” Weizmann Institute of Science Prof. Roy Bar-Ziv tells ISRAEL21c. “If we can build a primitive model of something so complex, we can possibly understand the dynamics of protein synthesis better.”

Something to Sniff At: A New Device That Could Help Severely Paralyzed People
Something to Sniff At: A New Device That Could Help Severely Paralyzed People

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/something-to-sniff-at-a-new-device-that-could-help-severely-paralyzed-people/

Nov 01, 2010... Other than florists and allergy sufferers, most people don't do much sniffing. But scientists in Israel see the ability as a way to assist severely paralyzed people. In the August 10 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Noam Sobel and his team at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot described the first ever sniff-enabled device: a thin plastic tube with two short prongs that are inserted into the nostrils. The gadget measures nasal pressure and converts it into electrical signals that can be read by a computer. The researchers found that, by sniffing, people could quickly and accurately raise or lower their nasal pressure enough to trigger a command, similar to pressing a button.

Oct 10, 2007... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—October 10, 2007—A group of Israeli scientists from the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology, the Weizmann Institute of Science, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries have recently identified genes responsible for the positive response of many multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to the drug Copaxone®. These findings may contribute to the development of personalized medicine for MS sufferers.

Proteopedia Turns New York City Students into Scientists

Feb 21, 2012... The students in Allison Granberry’s class at Hostos-Lincoln Academy, a South Bronx public school serving children in grades 6 to 12, are as excited about proteins and other biological macromolecules as most kids their age are about playing basketball or updating their Facebook status.
The passion of these newly minted scientists is due to the enthusiasm of Ms. Granberry, as well as Prof. Joel L. Sussman of the Department of Structural Biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. In a Rockefeller University after–school outreach program called SMART (Students Modeling A Research Topic) Team—a nationwide project conceived by Dr. Timothy Herman, Director of the Center for Biomolecular Modeling at the Milwaukee School of Engineering—Ms. Granberry and her students work with Prof. Sussman’s website Proteopedia (proteopedia.org).

Oct 02, 2019... Many expectant mothers are told that breastfeeding will come naturally, but it is often a fraught and confusing experience, especially during the first few weeks after birth. Parents often worry about if their babies are getting enough nutrition or if they are producing enough milk. MyMilk Labs wants to give nursing mothers more information with Mylee, a sensor that scans a few drops of breast milk to get information about its composition and connects to a mobile app. The Israel-based company presented today at Disrupt Battlefield as one of two wild card competitors picked from Startup Alley.
