28 Nov 2019 Brain Guard Israeli researchers have developed new technology for transporting drugs within silicon nanostructures to the brain. These nanostructures release an essential protein, which can inhibit the development of Alzheimer’s disease, and can provide targeted delivery in the brain with the use of a “gene gun”. -
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.
