Is darkness faster than light? Technion researchers led by Prof. Ido Kaminer, with Tomer Bucher, Alexey Gorlach, Dr. Arthur Niedermayr, and Dr. Shay Tsesses, confirmed that “dark points” in light waves can move faster than light, without breaking Einstein’s rules. A 50-year-old theory, now proven. technion.ac.il/en/blog/articl… #Physics #Science #Quantum

Technion researchers Dr. Gil Shamai, Prof. Ron Kimmel (Computer Science), and Prof. Dvir Aran (Biology) have developed an AI model that predicts who will benefit from chemotherapy—using routine pathology images, in minutes.

Statement from the President of the Technion

How do you find your purpose? According to Neta Blum, you don’t. You build it. In her TEDx talk, Neta shares how going from aerospace research to leading a tech division at Israel’s Ministry of Defense, often as the only woman in the room, reshaped her mission: rewriting the rules and making powerful women visible. Purpose evolves. Leadership carries responsibility. Representation shapes possibility. ▶️Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=qJptKC… #TEDx #WomenInSTEM #Leadership #Purpose
