 Researchers in the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering have demonstrated control over an emerging material, which they consider as a possible future alternative to silicon in microelectronics. This is a timely development, because scientists and engineers face challenges in continuing the transistor shrinking trend, an important driver of computer chip performance.  

ew technology that allows for very high-resolution medical imaging (close to 10 µm) is expected to lead to the development of tiny and effective ultrasound systems and other medical applications. The innovative technology, SPADE, is based on research led by Professor Amir Rosenthal and Ph.D. student Yoav Hazan of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.

 At the end of March, Israeli astronaut Eytan Stibbe will set off for the International Space Station as a member of the Ax-1 crew and as part of the Rakia mission. Stibbe will take with him the Nano Bible - developed and produced at the Technion - and don

"From the Terminator to Spiderman’s suit, self-repairing robots and devices abound in sci-fi movies. In reality, though, wear and tear reduce the effectiveness of electronic devices until they need to be replaced. What if the cracked screen of your mobile phone could heal itself overnight? Or, if the solar panels providing energy to satellites could self repair the damage caused by micro-meteorites?"

Technion researchers develop a smart light source based on a single atomic layer of matter. The achievement provides a platform for the development of new quantum applications for computing and communication. Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new light source based on a single atomic layer. The discovery is based on the interaction of a single atomic layer with nano-antenna arrays in a silicon chip by creating defects in photonic crystals.

The Norman Seiden Multidisciplinary Graduate Program in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology offers programs leading to Master and Doctor Degrees. The program for the Master degree is a Master of Science in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. For further information on the RBNI Gradute program Click here

Supported by the Russell Berrie Foundation, the Government of Israel through TELEM, and Technion, RBNI was inaugurated in 2005 and aims at positioning the Technion and the State of Israel at the forefront of global Nanotechnology research and development.

Technion researchers, led by principal investigator Prof. Josué Sznitman of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, designed an in vitro platform for studying the dynamics of inhaled particles and ensuing deposition patterns inside pulmonary acini.  Using microfluidic technology, they have constructed a true-scale pulmonary acinar model that allows - for the first time - direct time-resolved observation of airborne particle trajectories and mapping detailed deposition locations of aerosols.

So what is Quantum anyway? Quantum is the Latin word for amount and, in modern understanding, means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property, such as energy or matter.

Researchers at Israel’s Technion have created a mechanical way to make light go one way (and one way only) at nanoscales. It’s the first of its kind optical “isolator,” which might prove useful in quantum computing and optical computing, where you want to precisely control the direction and “size” of the light signals that move from chip to chip and carry the information of the computational process.

חוקרים בטכניון יצרו מערכת אופטית חדשה: "קיפודי אור" ננומטריים הסוללים דרך ליישומים חדשים בעיבוד מידע, בהעברתו ובאחסונו. המערכת צפויה להוביל לגילוי מגוון תופעות אופטיות חדשות

Can Baking Soda Help in the Fight Against Cancer? The researcher behind this discovery is Hanan Abumanhal Masarweh of the Technion’s Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, who received her Ph.D. from the Technion for her research under the supervision of Prof. Avi Schroeder of the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering.

Norman Seiden was a giant leader who dedicated much of his life to Technion and was instrumental in numerous achievements of our university. His vision and support led to transformational changes which have major national and international impacts. Prime examples are the Barbara and Norman Seiden Optoelectronics Center established in 1989, which paved the way to the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, the largest and most influential research entity at the Technion.

The Irwin and Joan Jacobs Graduate School held the Jacobs Graduate Research Day, where posters that were chosen as excellent in the departmental research days, were presented by the graduate students from the different Faculties and programs. Congratulations to the three students, from the The Norman Seiden Multidisciplinary Graduate Program in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology , who won the following prizes:

Research Abstract - A joint Nevet project by Asst. Prof. Moran Bercovici and Assoc. Prof. Ester Segal Nanostructured porous silicon (PSi) is a promising material for the label-free detection of biomolecules, but it currently suffers from limited applicability due to poor sensitivity, typically in micromolar range. 

120 young researchers from 12 countries visited the Technion for a unique workshop on electron microscopy. The electron microscopy workshop attracted young people from all the universities in Israel and from 11 European countries.

Supported by the Russell Berrie Foundation, the Government of Israel through TELEM, and Technion, RBNI was inaugurated in 2005 and aims at positioning the Technion and the State of Israel at the forefront of global Nanotechnology research and development. RBNI continues the historic role of Technion in shaping Israel's technological agenda, including visionary investments in aerospace research and development, microelectronics, optoelectronics, and materials science.
