From the North and the South to the Technion
The Technion and the Robophysics Excellence Program were harnessed for students from the north and south, evacuated from their homes. Since the beginning of the war, 120 students have participated in the program 120 high school students from communities in the Gaza Envelope and from the north who were forced to evacuate their homes completed… Read More
The Materials of Future Transistors
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… Read More

Technion Makes VCSELs
Researchers from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, together with the staff of the Micro and Nano Fabrication Unit (MNFU) at the Sara and Moshe Zisapel Nanoelectronics Center, have developed unique vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, known as VCSELs, to be used… Read More
Worlds of Hardware
The Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with the semiconductor industry, recently held an event titled “Worlds of Hardware.” The aim of the event was to provide students better exposure to hardware engineering. Speakers explained how hardware engineering is rapidly changing and evolving, and gave examples of the kind… Read More
2D interaction takes researchers by surprise
Researchers from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have presented the first experimental observation of Cherenkov radiation confined in two dimensions. The results surprised the researchers when a new record in electron-radiation coupling strength was achieved, and the quantum properties of the… Read More
Computers Reimagined
Since they became part of our lives some 80 years ago, computers have become faster and smaller, but their basic architecture hasn’t changed. There’s still one part that stores information – that’s the memory (e.g., RAM, hard drive), and another part that processes information – that’s the CPU or processor. Now Associate Professor Shahar Kvatinsky… Read More
Dr. AI, What’s My Diagnosis?
One in nine women in the developed world will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life. The prevalence of breast cancer is increasing, an effect caused in part by the modern lifestyle and increased lifespans. Thankfully, treatments are becoming more efficient and more personalized. However, what isn’t increasing – and is… Read More
