Technion Breakthrough Improves Tissue Grafts

Technion researchers and colleagues in the U.S. have developed technology to tailor grafted tissues that can respond to certain natural forces affecting blood vessels. The researchers also found that matching the structure of the engineered vessels to the structure of the host tissues at the site of implantation helps the tissue implant integration, improving the chances that grafted tissues will survive. The findings were published recently in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Continue reading Technion Breakthrough Improves Tissue Grafts

Hydrogen Breakthrough – Water Splitting at Technion

An innovative process developed at the Technion presents 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 Lilac 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).
