Engineered bacteria that feed on CO2 could lead to the development of carbon-neutral fuels

Bacteria in the lab of Prof. Ron Milo of the Weizmann Institute of Science have not just sworn off sugar – they have stopped eating all of their normal solid food, existing instead on carbon dioxide (CO2) from their environment. That is, they were able to build all of their biomass from air. This feat, which involved nearly a

Could gut microbes affect the course of ALS?

Researchers isolated a molecule that may be under-produced in the guts of patients Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have shown in mice that intestinal microbes, collectively termed the gut microbiome, may affect the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. As reported today in Nature,progression of an ALS-like disease

Reversible liquid organic hydrogen carrier system brings the hydrogen economy closer

Reversible liquid organic hydrogen carrier system made of simple organic chemicals Hydrogen is a highly attractive, but also highly explosive energy carrier, which requires safe, lightweight and cheap storage as well as transportation systems. Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, have now developed a chemical storage system based on simple and abundant organic

Your immune system and the fountain of youth

Helping the immune system clear away old cells in aging mice helped restore youthful characteristics If only we could keep our bodies young, healthy and energetic, even as we attain the wisdom of our years. New research at the Weizmann Institute of Science suggests this dream could be at least partly obtainable in the future. The

The ultimate personalized cancer therapy – a new drug is created for every patient

A new approach to identifying “signposts” on cancer cells may help immune cells eliminate the disease With new immunotherapy treatments for melanoma, recovery rates have risen dramatically, in some cases to around 50%. But they could be much higher: A new study led by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science showed, in lab dishes

A breakthrough technology with the power to create drugs with fewer unwanted side effects

Today, a new study published in Science by Professors Yossi Paltiel of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ron Naaman from the Weizmann Institute of Science describes a breakthrough technology with the power to create drugs with fewer unwanted side effects. Chemical compounds are made up of molecules. The most important molecules in biology are chiral molecules.

A new, water-based, recyclable membrane filters all types of nanoparticles

Self-Organization Makes for Efficient Separation Separation technology is at the heart of water purification, sewage treatment and reclaiming materials, as well as numerous basic industrial processes. Membranes are used to separate out the smallest, nanoscale particles and even molecules and metal ions. Prof. Boris Rybtchinski and his group of the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Organic

Typical office scanner can be used as a cyberattack tool via laser or smartbulb

A typical office scanner can be infiltrated and a company’s network compromised using different light sources, according to a new paper by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Weizmann Institute of Science. “In this research, we demonstrated how to use a laser or smart bulb to establish a covert channel between an

Effective treatment for early prostate cancer using non-invasive light therapy

A new non-surgical treatment for low-risk prostate cancer can effectively kill cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue, reports a new UCL-led phase III clinical trial in 413 patients. The trial was funded by STEBA Biotech which holds the commercial license for the treatment. The new treatment, ‘vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy’ (VTP), involves injecting a light-sensitive drug

A new way to predict drug cocktail interactions even with a lot of ingredients

Synopsis: A new model can predict drug interactions and side effects even between a large number of components Drug cocktails such as those for treating cancer, like the alcoholic versions offered at the local bar, are best when the proper ingredients are mixed in the right proportions. Like the cocktails we normally drink, the combination

New movie screen allows for glasses-free 3-D at a larger scale

Prototype display enables viewers to watch a 3-D movie from any seat in a theater. 3-D movies immerse us in new worlds and allow us to see places and things in ways that we otherwise couldn’t. But behind every 3-D experience is something that is uniformly despised: those goofy glasses. Fortunately, there may be hope.

Eating Air, Making Fuel: Converting CO2 to sugars

Weizmann Institute scientists engineer bacteria to create sugar from the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide All life on the planet relies, in one way or another, on a process called carbon fixation: the ability of plants, algae and certain bacteria to “pump” carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment, add solar or other energy and turn it

Stem Cells Might Heal Damaged Lungs

Collectively, such diseases of the airways as emphysema, bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis are the second leading cause of death worldwide. More than 35 million Americans alone suffer from chronic respiratory disease. Weizmann Institute scientists have now proposed a new direction that could, in the future, lead to the development of a method for alleviating

Scientists Identify the Signature of Aging in the Brain

Weizmann Institute researchers suggest that the brain’s “immunological age” is what counts How the brain ages is still largely an open question – in part because this organ is mostly insulated from direct contact with other systems in the body, including the blood and immune systems. In research that was recently published in Science, Weizmann
