Application: Our Innovation: We have developed a cutting-edge optical Hall effect (OHE) method that surpasses the sensitivity of existing ellipsometry tools by more than 100 times while remaining fast and non-invasive. Our technique applies an electrical field by shining a laser beam on the sample, eliminating the need for physical electrical contacts and sample preparation […]...

Application:           Bipolar Disorder (BD) affects millions worldwide, with a high heritability of 0.70. Current treatments, like lithium, are not effective for all patients. BD is genetically complex, with no single causal variant identified, and there are no good animal models due to this complexity. Existing treatments often have limited efficacy and significant side effects, leaving […]...

About A novel, eco-friendly protein extraction process utilizing agricultural waste biomass for cost-effective, high-quality alternative protein production. Challenge The global plant-based protein market is projected to reach USD 17.4 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 7.3% between 2022 and 2027. However, current protein extraction methods are resource-intensive, requiring extensive transportation of biomass, water usage, […]...

Application: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 protein. It accounts for approximately 15-20% of breast cancer cases worldwide, with a higher incidence in younger women. TNBC is particularly challenging to treat due to its heterogeneity and the lack of […]...

Cluster2 bismuth oxyhalides for photooxidation of organics. Uses visible light. OLD:...

Application The cultured meat industry is growing rapidly, driven by demand for sustainable and more ethical protein sources. However, significant challenges persist. Current methods for differentiating stem cells into muscle and fat tissues are inefficient and slow, hindering large-scale production and increasing costs. The industry also struggles to replicate the texture and flavor of traditional […]...

Application Our Innovation We have developed an innovative piezoelectric pressure sensor based on thin layers of two-dimensional perovskite materials. These sensors leverage the unique properties of 2D perovskites, which are enhanced by the presence of spacer molecules between the perovskite layers. Our technology offers a novel approach to pressure sensing, taking advantage of the versatility […]...

Application Epilepsy affects over 65 million people worldwide. Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients do not respond to existing drugs. Additionally, the available drugs often come with multiple adverse effects and mainly address seizure symptoms rather than modifying the underlying causes of epilepsy. Therefore, there is a critical need for more effective and well-tolerated treatments. Developing […]...

David Helman, Carmit Ziv, Oren Glickman, Eldar Shlomi; Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center About Introducing ToMAI-SENS: a revolutionary AI-driven device for rapid, non-destructive assessment of key tomato quality indicators. Background Current methods for assessing tomato quality involve destructive lab testing, which is costly, time-consuming, and limited to small post-harvest samples. […]...

Application Our Innovation We have developed a synthetic biology platform based on synthetic promoters that generate high levels of gene expression even under challenging stress conditions, such as repeated freeze/thaw cycles, starvation, or hypoxia. Advantages Native promoters are currently used in the industry, yet they have certain limitations such as context dependence, promoter silencing, and […]...
