For the first time: "smart liquids" will be used as sensitive biological sensors

The team of researchers explained that the uniqueness of the smart liquids is that, as a result of their chemical properties, the liquids maintain separation from each other, thus creating distinct droplets

Intractable conflict - is there such a thing?

Disputes and conflicts that seem insoluble are not strangers to us, certainly in a challenging time like the one we are experiencing during the Iron Swords War. But is there still a way that will allow us to see the light at the end of the tunnel?

The mystery of the prehistoric quarrying sites has been solved: the connection between man, the elephant and the source of water

Why did the ancient man return again and again, over hundreds of thousands of years, to the same quarry sites? It turns out that the secret lies in the migration routes of the elephants
The image illustrates the complex interactions described in your summary, and shows the complex choices that bacteriophages make between aggression and dormancy within their bacterial hosts, which are influenced by environmental cues and the health of the host.

What improves the cutting process of plants that is considered critical in agriculture?

Researchers have discovered a way to significantly optimize the rooting process in the natural genetic cloning process of plants
Chemical simulation. The image was prepared as an illustration using the artificial intelligence software DALEE and is not used as a scientific image.

Not only in computers: the "legality" of the Restart also works in chemical simulations

Researchers have discovered that the original way to speed up chemical processes is to reboot

A mechanism has been discovered that causes sleep apnea in sick children

  • No comments
One of the diseases resulting from such mutations in the PHOX2B gene is the disease CCHS. This is a rare and life-threatening syndrome in which babies, children and adults stop breathing as soon as they fall asleep. The patients must be connected to ventilators in order not to die in their sleep

Stockholm syndrome in politics, or why African-Americans vote for Trump?

Prof. Udi Sommer and Idan Franco from the School of Political Science, Government and International Relations at Tel Aviv University investigated why African-Americans "score an own goal" and vote for Trump. Is there racist self-loathing and how does it relate to Israel?

Researchers have developed algorithms that analyze information and data efficiently and quickly and maintain user privacy

The field of information technologies is constantly developing and regularly challenges the researchers and practitioners in the field. One of the challenges is Big Data - huge amounts of information that come from various sources, accumulate in information systems and require a huge variety of tools and technologies for their preservation, maintenance, management and retrieval

Women or men - who will bring peace?

We all know the cliché: "Men are from Mars and women are from Manga", but are men and women also distinctly different in the way they conduct war and conflict? What does digital games have to do with this? And what does this mean regarding who is desired to head the ruling parties in Israel?
