Fast track to building molecules – Nature
Nature Reveals: Technion Researchers uncovered a novel approach to molecular architecture. The significant scientific breakthrough represents an effective solution to a major problem in organic synthesis, and could speed up processes in the pharmaceutical industry.
Gili Bisker, Nano students, Technion, MIT & Pure Gold
The launch of a new $5 million program with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) enables six Technion PhDs to take up postdoctoral fellowships at MIT, with full funding for their first year. The 10-year program is funded to a sum of $500,000 per annum. Among the five Technion PhDs who accepted the fellowship this inaugural year are two women: Gili Bisker (Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) and Lina Perelman (Civil and Environmental Engineering).

Chaotic Evolution and the Lives of Stars
Scientists from Technion -Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Colorado, Boulder have taken a closer look at how star systems and their planets grow old together.
Welcome to Israel’s most advanced scanning electron microscope.
The Technion has bought the most advanced scanning electron microscope in Israel, at a cost of 1.3 million dollars. This is a substantial contribution to the learning process at all levels, and that the microscope will serve all researchers in Israel, as well as the high-tech industry, says Dean of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, Prof. Wayne D. Kaplan.

Nature: New Power for Solar Energy
Rust and sunshine could replace fossil fuels
Using sunlight and ultrathin films of iron oxide, or rust, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology researchers have found a new way to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The breakthrough, they say, could lead to less expensive, more efficient ways to store solar energy in the form of hydrogen-based fuels.

Iron Dome: the inside story from Technion
“Without Iron Dome, Israel would be in Gaza…” John McCain.
Israel’s Iron Dome system, a relatively new umbrella to stop the Gaza rockets that have been raining down over southern Israel, has achieved a claimed success rate of roughly 90 percent in its most rigorous test yet.
