Next-Gen Israeli Satellite to Seek Out Cosmic Explosions and Black Holes
Next-Gen Israeli Satellite to Seek Out Cosmic Explosions and Black Holes

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/next-gen-israeli-satellite-to-seek-out-cosmic-explosions-and-black-holes/

Aug 12, 2019... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—August 12, 2019—Weighing in at just about 160 kg (around 353 lbs), a new type of scientific satellite is planned to be built in Israel over the next four years, with a projected launch date of 2023. The satellite, known as ULTRASAT, will carry a telescope designed to observe the universe as it has never been seen before: it will operate in a range of light that is normally invisible to us – ultraviolet, or UV – and have a very large field of view.

New 3D Movie Screen Could Let Viewers Ditch Glasses at the Theatre
New 3D Movie Screen Could Let Viewers Ditch Glasses at the Theatre

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/new-3d-movie-screen-could-let-viewers-ditch-glasses-at-the-theatre/

Jul 25, 2016... No Glasses Needed. In the future, movie screens could be equipped for 3D movies without any need for glasses. Christine Daniloff/MIT
It's summer blockbuster season, where there are ample choices of what movies to see and how to see them. Do you just go for the regular viewing experience, or spring for 3D? Or do you stay home and watch Netflix?
There are no right answers. But soon, the annoyance of wearing 3D glasses at the movies may not factor into your decision. (Unlike the price for a 3D movie ticket, which is likely to remain high.) Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science are presenting a paper this week at the SIGGRAPH computer-graphics conference that shows a prototype for how to create a cinema-sized movie screen that won't require patrons to wear those awful glasses.

Jun 30, 2016... A bowtie-shaped nanoparticle made of silver with a trapped semiconductor quantum dot (indicated by the red arrow)
Bowtie-shaped nanoparticles made of silver may help bring the dream of quantum computing and quantum information processing closer to reality. These nanostructures, created at the Weizmann Institute of Science and described recently in Nature Communications, greatly simplify the experimental conditions for studying quantum phenomena and may one day be developed into crucial components of quantum devices.

Bessie Lawrence Alum Joshua Meier: A Young Scientist’s Story

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/bessie-lawrence-alum-joshua-meier-a-young-scientist-s-story-macro-issue/

May 02, 2017... For most of his life, Joshua Meier has been the textbook definition of a whiz kid. At four, he received his first computer game – a gift that fascinated him until he realized that the experience it created was “fundamentally limited.” Eager to push beyond those limitations, he opened his first email account when he was five and began programming at the age of eight.
His interests soon expanded to biology. By the time he was a high school junior in Teaneck, New Jersey, he was the head of a biotechnology company, Provita Pharmaceuticals, and had already gained recognition from Google for his stem cell research.

Oct 07, 2010... Click here to watch the video from New Tang Dynasty TV.
The Weizmann Institute of Science lies in the heart of green vegetation.
The Institute was chosen several times by The Scientist magazine as one of “the best places to work in academia.”
Here you can find all kinds of researchers at work - some are trying to defeat cancer while others are creating materials never seen before.
In this lab, Professor Reshef Tenne and his team are creating tiny crystals called nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can only be created under laboratory conditions.

An anti-cancer therapy that has been developed by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Technology will get a $10 million investment from a South Korean biopharmaceutical company that is traded on the Korea Stock Exchange. This is the Korean firm’s first investment in an Israeli venture, the Weizmann Institute said in a statement.

The Power of Sniff
The Power of Sniff

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/the-power-of-sniff/

Oct 06, 2010... A new device lets the disabled move and communicate with their noses.
The key to restoring movement and communication for the severely disabled may lie on the roofs of our mouths. Researchers have invented a device that allows the paralyzed to write, surf the Web and steer an electric wheelchair—all by sniffing. Initial tests, described recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, suggest that patients with severe paralysis may soon have a new way of doing everyday tasks.

Weizmann Institute of Science and Hebrew University researchers have made the first direct visual observation and measurement of ultra-fast vortex dynamics in superconductors. They say their technique, detailed in the journal Nature Communications, could contribute to the development of novel practical applications by optimizing superconductor properties for use in electronics.

Ingenious Lightbulb Hack Can Cause Seizures, Spy On 'Air-Gapped' Networks
Ingenious Lightbulb Hack Can Cause Seizures, Spy On 'Air-Gapped' Networks

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/ingenious-lightbulb-hack-can-cause-seizures-spy-on-air-gapped-networks/

Apr 01, 2016... Academic hackers used a telescope, cheap computer and laptop to collect signals coming from a compromised connected lightbulb.
It’s now a given: the Internet of Things is horribly broken.
Connected lightbulbs, though one of the few possibly-justifiable products in the gross melange that is the IoT market, are sometimes contributors to that rank unsecurity. And now researchers have shown just how evil attacks on lightbulbs can be, claiming their hacks can cause epileptic fits and steal information from segregated, supposedly-secure networks in startling sub rosa fashion. All they needed was to subtly modulate light pulses in two bulbs on the market to convey data to a telescope up to 100 meters away, or have them create a strobe effect to bring on seizures. Both attacks were possible because authentication on the lightbulbs – a Philips Hue and a LimitlessLED – were found wanting, allowing anyone who could locate the devices to send commands.

Just Rolling Along

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/feature-stories/just-rolling-along/

Sep 21, 1997... A smooth, friction-free future may be in the offing—for machinery, that is. Prof. Reshef Tenne and his team in the Materials and Interfaces Department have created a new kind of lubricant that promises to cut friction in half. The synthetic material is made of inert, round molecules of tungsten disulfide. Says Prof. Tenne: "They just roll against each other and against the machinery parts, and don't stick to anything, like Teflon."
