Weizmann Institute of Science researchers generate, for the first time, a vortex beam of atoms and molecules. Vortices may conjure a mental image of whirlpools…
On the Outskirts of the Nucleus If you open a biology textbook and run through the images depicting how DNA is organized in the cell’s…
Weizmann Institute scientists reveal how gigantic cyclones remain stable at both of Jupiter’s poles. Until recently, before NASA’s Juno space probe entered its orbit around…
Therapeutic approach developed by Weizmann Institute scientists could spell new hope in the battle against COVID-19. Even though vaccines may be steering the world toward…
Proteins communicating through the DNA molecule constitute a newly discovered genetic “switch.” Proteins can communicate through DNA, conducting a long-distance dialogue that serves as a…
Electronic nose might “sniff out” COVID-19-infected people at mass scale, according to a preliminary proof-of-concept study. Reference: “Proof of Concept for Real-Time Detection of SARS…
A look at enzyme evolution suggests life figured out how to use oxygen long before the main event. Around 2.5 billion years ago, our planet…
A 3D structure reveals how a unique molecular switch in our brain causes us to feel full – and may help develop improved anti-obesity drugs….
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discover a surprising phase transition in twisted bilayer graphene. Most materials go…
Fragrances – promising mystery, intrigue and forbidden thrills – are blended by master perfumers, their recipes kept secret. In a new study on the sense…
A new symmetry-broken parent state discovered in twisted bilayer graphene. In 2018 it was discovered that two layers of graphene twisted one with respect to…
A host of disease-causing viruses called arenaviruses lurk in animal populations in various parts of the world, sometimes crossing over into humans. When they do…
A study on mice shows animal research may need to take into account the connection between genes, behavior and personality. We might refer to someone’s…
New results from the Juno Spacecraft show that Jupiter’s gravitational field is askew, with different patterns in its northern and southern hemispheres. NASA’s Juno spacecraft…
A new study shows that electrons passing through a narrow constriction in a piece of metal can move much faster than expected, and that they…
New research from Brown University and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science shows that warmth and water flow on ancient Mars were probably episodic, related to…
New research form Yale University and the Weizmann Institute shows that early quasars took in a “super boost,” feasting from large reservoirs of gas that…
By using a technique that binds two electrons together so that their spins point in opposite directions, physicists at the Weizmann Institute of Science were…
