Artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing can identify insights that lead to breakthroughs

Scaling Up Search for Analogies Could Be Key to Innovation Investment in research is at an all-time high, yet the rate of scientific breakthroughs isn’t setting any records. To resolve this quandary, scientists are turning to artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing for help in identifying a key inspiration for innovation — the perfect analogy. Wilbur Wright,

Have scientists grossly underestimated the effects of air pollution on global warming?

Israeli researcher claims his calculations show scientists have grossly underestimated the effects of air pollution. The world’s scientific community has known for a long time that global warming is caused by manmade emissions in the form of greenhouse gases, while global cooling is caused by air pollution in the form of aerosols. In a new study

A cure for acute leukemia within reach?

Hebrew University drug trials show 50 percent cure rate in lab mice Acute myeloid leukemia is one of the most aggressive cancers. While other cancers have benefitted from new treatments, there has been no encouraging news for most leukemia patients for the past 40 years. Until now. As published today in the scientific journal Cell, Professor

A terahertz computer chip that will make computers run 100 times faster gets much closer

Following three years of extensive research, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) physicist Dr. Uriel Levy and his team have created technology that will enable our computers—and all optic communication devices—to run 100 times faster through terahertz microchips. Until now, two major challenges stood in the way of creating the terahertz microchip: overheating and scalability. However,

Scientists Generate a New Type of Human Stem Cell That Has Half a Genome

Scientists have succeeded in generating a new type of embryonic stem cell that carries a single copy of the human genome, instead of the two copies typically found in normal stem cells. These are the first human cells that are known to be capable of cell division with just one copy of the parent cell’s
