Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip, a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex optical devices for data processing sensing and experimental physics. “Existing 3D printers produce rough 3D structures that aren’t optically… Read More
A new international study led by a research team from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has revealed that simply repeating an image, whether authentic or AI-generated, increases the likelihood that viewers will believe it is real. The researchers found that repeated images are more likely to be perceived as representing a real person, location, or an… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) found that diagnoses and treatment recommendations given by AI were more accurate than those of physicians at a Los Angeles virtual urgent care clinic. The study, conducted at Cedars-Sinai Connect, compared recommendations given in about 500 visits of adult patients with relatively common respiratory, urinary, eye, vaginal… Read More
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed an innovative method that can help to understand better how cells behave in changing biological environments, such as those found within a cancerous tumor. The new system, called scNET, combines information on gene expression at the single-cell level with information on gene interactions, enabling the identification of… Read More
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have, for the first time, enabled the application of the scientific phenomenon of superlubricity in electronic components. The research team successfully harnessed frictionless sliding to significantly enhance the performance of memory components in computers and other electronic devices. The study was led by Dr. Youngki Yeo, Yoav Sharaby, Dr…. Read More
Can copper be turned into gold? For centuries, alchemists pursued this dream, unaware that such a transformation requires a nuclear reaction. But graphite — the material found in pencils — and diamonds are both composed entirely of carbon atoms; the key difference lies in how these atoms are arranged. Converting graphite into diamonds requires extreme… Read More
A groundbreaking study conducted by Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers has identified the seismic signature of Hamas forces’ movement before the October 7th attack, analyzing data recorded at three seismic stations in southern Israel. They believe the discovery demonstrates the potential usage of seismic-based sensing technology to provide early warnings of terrorist activity. The study… Read More
A new study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has found that the smartphones we all carry in our pockets could help collect weather data from the public to provide early warnings for wildfires and other extreme weather conditions. Professor Colin Price and PhD student Hofit Shachaf from the Department of Geophysics in TAU’s Porter School… Read More
