07 Jun 2018 A New System for Delivering Anticancer Drugs to Pediatric Tumors The transport of drugs using nanoparticles is a very promising technology expected to change the face of medicine. It is particularly relevant for transferring anti-cancer drugs into the tumor. But despite extensive research and developments, the implementation of such technology for children with cancer has not been widely studied to date. This is due in part to restrictions on child participation in clinical trials and variances in the physiology of children at different ages. -
10 Mar 2016 Solar Cell Technology Boosts Performance A patented breakthrough by researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology improves the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells by 50 percent, and could someday provide a huge boost for the viability of solar power as a major source of energy. The researchers recently published their findings in the Journal of Applied Physics. Organic photovoltaic cells convert solar energy into electric power through organic molecules. -
10 Mar 2016 Unprecedented perfect efficiency in producing hydrogen from water using solar energy The scientific journal Nano Letters has recently reported a significant breakthrough in the field of hydrogen fuel production. A major discovery occurred at the laboratory of Assistant Professor Lilach Amirav of the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion, demonstrating a perfect 100% light-to-hydrogen gas conversion efficiency through solar water splitting. The research was conducted in the framework of the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute (RBNI) and the Nancy and Stephen Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP).
