Afraid of dental implants?
Dental implants, made of titanium or titanium alloys, are widely used to provide a durable solution to missing teeth and restore functionality. Unfortunately, after a variable number of months, about 30% of the patients may experience peri-implantitis, a disease that manifests itself by jawbone regression around the implant and gradual exposure of the implant’s threads.… Read More

Spreading Light Through Teaching
More than 250 volunteers from the Technion mobilized to help teach students who were evacuated from their homes About a week after the outbreak of the war, in mid-October, Prof. Yohai Carmel from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering came across a volunteer academy project . This new and exciting initiative is designed to harness members of… Read More
Atomic-scale spin-optical laser: new horizon for optoelectronics
Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a coherent and controllable spin-optical laser based on a single atomic layer. This discovery is enabled by coherent spin-dependent interactions between a single atomic layer and a laterally confined photonic spin lattice, the latter of which supports high-Q spin-valley states through the photonic Rashba-type… Read More

Blowing in the Wind
In Israel, the sea almost literally flows into our taps. We Israelis pride ourselves on the achievements of our country in the field of desalination, with 5 desalination plants spread across the Israeli shores of the Mediterranean, which produce drinking water equivalent to about 75% of the national domestic water consumption, and more facilities to… Read More
The Invisible Facemask
Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a revolutionary invisible facemask to protect wearers against the transmission of COVID, MERS, influenza, and other respiratory viruses. Although conventional facemasks help protect against disease transmission, recent scientific literature shows that they also present adverse psychological and physiological effects. They reduce facial identification and… Read More
Towards a Greener Future
To a large extent, renewable energy sources depend on environmental conditions that are, over time, changing and uneven. These variables make it impossible to integrate them directly into the electricity grid, and necessitate an energy-storage system that mediates between them and the electricity grid. This presents one of the most significant challenges of our time:… Read More
The Path to Healthy Aging
Life expectancy is consistently increasing thanks to progress in health care, science, and technology. However, longer lives have not meant an improved quality of life for the elderly. In response to this important global challenge, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has gathered researchers from different faculties in order to establish the Healthy Aging… Read More
