At the Starting Line: Emerging Technologies

Emerging technologies are innovative technologies at advanced developmental stages which have enormous potential to change the face of industry and society. The Innovation Authority has chosen to focus on technologies with an estimated timeframe of 3-8 years for product development. This period enables to identify the emerging technologies relevant for Israeli industry and delineates the […]

Many Diseases will Disappear in the Future

From miniature biological chips that simulate the physiological activity of a human organ to smart nanoparticles and microdevices for delivering medicines, emerging technologies are enabling the treatment of diseases and studies that discern patterns that are beyond human capability Imagine a world in which diagnosis and treatment of cancer is no longer a lengthy and […]

Personalized Proteins

A quantum leap in the control of proteins’ function is changing the rules in the worlds of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and enzymes used in the industry, enabling to quickly improve the stability and activity of any protein. This technological breakthrough offers genuine hope for millions worldwide Prof. Sarel Fleishman and his team at the Weizmann Institute’s […]

Touching the Impossible

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), a groundbreaking Israeli development, is giving hope to people who have lost their sense of touch due to amputation. A unique sensor is implanted in the injured area and, upon contact, creates an electric signal that flows directly to the healthy nerve, restoring tactile sensation A white foam, waves caressing the shore, […]

The Plant Age Has Arrived

Producing milk without cows, printing organs from plant collagen, fast-growing trees, and biodegradable food packaging – emerging technologies that utilize the qualities of plants and solve environmental problems. This is the path to an age in which plants can produce almost anything we want At times, the most significant discoveries are, were achieved by mistakes. […]

Sometimes Dreams Do Get Printed

Emerging technologies of 3D printing in four dimensions, that include printing materials that change form when exposed to various triggers in the fourth dimension, are leading the fourth industrial revolution and opening possibilities for revolutionary applications in fields of medicine, construction, defense and others While most of us are excited about the possibilities offered by […]

The Secret Language of the Cells

Revolutionary methods for sequencing single cells and cell pairs, and the interactions between cells enable the rapid development and application of new diagnostic tools, identification of new treatment mechanisms, and early detection of diseases, with only a simple blood test “Cells communicate in a way that alters them and their surroundings and, therefore, if we […]

The Challenge: Curbing Global Warming

The solution: emerging technologies for the capture, adsorption and storage of carbon, by changing states of its aggregation that will enhance natural sequestration via accelerated weathering of minerals, a “magic mineral dust” that will accelerate the growing of seaweed that absorbs carbon on the ocean floor, transforming organic carbon into rock and more Tiny particles […]
