The Hebrew University

A team of researchers from the Hebrew University has developed a device that is able to easily and quickly measure the properties and thickness of surfaces 35 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. The method is expected to significantly optimize the production of solar cells,
Researchers at the Hebrew University and the University of Kentucky believe that a specific type of protein, which has not been studied before, substantially increases the molecular complexity in the brain and improves its function. "Such a discovery may have implications for the study of neurological diseases
Volatile molecules may characterize diseases such as tooth decay and gum disease
The first selected experiment led by Professor Sarah Eyal from the Hebrew University and in collaboration with Space Pharma and is designed to test the stability of drugs in space over time, in orbit around the moon
By creating artificial embryonic and placental stem cells and comparing them, the researchers from the Hebrew University identified about 14,000 sites in the genome that control the development of all the organs of the fetus
A study by the Hebrew University found that the tobacco companies offer benefits and gifts to store owners to market their product in a prominent location and in a more beautiful display, and teach them how to circumvent the legislation that prohibits
University researchers have identified a new type of organelle that has not been discovered in gametes before. According to them, a failure in its function causes infertility because it is responsible for the organization of the chromosomes in the sex cells: "The discovery advances us towards finding
As soon as the disease develops, significant damage has already occurred that cannot be cured, but the development of a unique genetic strain allowed the university researchers to stop the pain and erosion. The findings can predict the disease after joint trauma
In this disease, the body produces substances similar to those found in cannabis, which damage the kidney * University researchers have found a way to improve the medical treatment of diabetic kidney disease, which affects approximately 30% of diabetics in the world. The new method
University researchers have discovered a breakthrough magnetic phenomenon that will improve technological production. The researchers: "The discovery could change the next generation of nanoelectronic devices with reduced power consumption and faster capabilities"
Using 3D printers and ink based on natural materials, university researchers are able to print wood and design its shape while drying. "The development will revolutionize the design and construction of buildings that change themselves," shares one
An analysis of charcoal remains collected as part of an excavation at the Tel Tsaf polyglot site in the Jordan Valley determines that these are the remains of olive trees. Since the Jordan Valley is outside the olive's natural habitat,
Between rain and flood, between time and terrain, between yesterday and tomorrow
Microscopic oases on plant leaves allow bacteria to survive during the day
Pools of immune system cells taken from patients and mice with liver cancer and melanoma, partly composed of tired immune cells
The award is given for his pioneering work in the field of two-dimensional nanomaterials built from defined and oriented monoatomic layers. His groundbreaking contributions include the creation and understanding of two-dimensional topological and magnetic structures, and the discovery of superconductivity and coordinated states in graphene
Researchers from the Hebrew University found that nitrogen pollution caused by human activities has a direct effect on the decline in the variety of species in about a hundred sites in the world, including Beit Govrin: "Not enough efforts have been made in Israel to estimate the
Although we are mostly familiar with viruses that harm us, it turns out that some of them are actually good and beneficial, both for humans and plants. A virus discovered in Israel in the XNUMXs helps tomatoes grow in a harsher climate
The study modeled over 1000 test sites and found that in 25% of them there is contamination from drugs that harms the water quality. "Even the most efficient purification plants are unable to remove the pollutants before they reach the rivers.
A combination of personality characteristics such as reliance on self-intuition, belief in conspiracy theories, "need for chaos" and lack of intellectual modesty, along with an unusual state of persistent social distrust, leads to people simultaneously rejecting
The spider, which was discovered for the first time in the Arava region, prefers soils free of oil pollution and thus constitutes a biological marker
Prof. Zvi Peleg: "The constant increase in demand and the suitability of the sesame for growing under high temperatures associated with climate change, led to an attempt to return it to agriculture in Israel. Finding the connection between the timing of flowering and the components of the crop, you can
Two of the grant winners are from the Hebrew University and the others from Bar Ilan University
The cargo, which contains metal ingots and stone anchors dating back to about 3500 years ago, proves that there were significant trade relations between Cyprus and distant Sardinia
A new study reveals that an increase in the frequency of storms, along with a decrease in evaporation about 20 years ago, were likely significant factors that enabled the transition to permanent settlements and an agricultural society
