The layered site, which was apparently used by humans of the late Homo erectus type, was a favorite site, to which the humans returned again and again. Bone remains of a wide variety of animals were found on the site - elephants, cattle, elk, donkeys and more, which were used as food for the residents
A new study by Prof. Dan Rabinovitz from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology of Tel Aviv University states that the Middle East region is expected to undergo extremely extreme climate changes, which may cause devastating civil wars (and between states) that will threaten the integrity of the entire region as has already happened in Syria, Sudan and Darfur
What happens when zoologists and a chip engineer meet at a campus cafe? No, this is not a joke, but a project that crosses faculties and schools, which gave birth to a robot with a real ear on a chip, which hears and responds to voices. The defense industry is already expressing interest, and the researchers promise that from here the sky is the limit
A new study from Tel Aviv University presents an innovative treatment for deafness, which is based on the introduction of genetic cargo into the cells of the inner ear. As part of the treatment, the genetic load is inserted into the damaged cell in such a way that it actually "repairs" the genetic defect and allows the cell to continue to function normally
The research focused on food residues identified in dental stone of people buried in Tel Megiddo and Tel Irani (near Kiryat Gat). In the teeth, dating to the 16th century BC in Megiddo and the 11th century BC in Tel Irani, remains of various foods were found, including foods from Southeast Asia such as soybeans, bananas and turmeric.
"There is so much speculation about this virus and the damage it causes, and we have shown that at least in the audio system - at the moment no damage has been observed," explains Prof. Keren Avraham from Tel Aviv University, who is partnering in the research together with Dr. Amiel Dror and Dr. Eyal Sela from Ziv Hospital and the faculty Bar Ilan medicine in Safed
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have proven that the corona virus can be killed efficiently, quickly and at low cost - using light emitting diodes (LED) in the ultraviolet (UV) range
The world's first clinical trial of its kind, conducted by researchers from Tel Aviv University and Shamir Hospital (Assaf Harofeh), states that pressure chamber treatment of healthy people in the third age can stop the aging of blood cells
The researchers estimate that the main cause of the disappearance of the sea sponges is probably related to the increase in the temperature of the sea water in the summer months, which in the last 60 years has increased by about 3 degrees
The joint study by researchers from Tel Aviv University and Tel Hai College shows that in the midst of the second wave (October 2020) almost every third person in Israel (29%) suffers from high or very high anxiety symptoms
A new technological development will make it possible to photograph objects, people and animals while they are moving, while maintaining the sharpness of the image
Until today, the most available solution for spur pain was resting the legs, reducing the amount of sports training and local massage in the painful area. A new study at Tel Aviv University recommends actually walking with bare feet at home or on a moving track, like a gym treadmill
The discovery may contribute to the development of treatments for deafness that will be based on the regeneration of hair cells in the ear * According to the researchers, this is a change of perception in developmental biology: the researchers found that the development of the array of hair cells in the inner ear is similar to the organization of atoms that form a crystal - a known process in physics, which has not yet been identified in biology
The goal of the research is to lead to the development of antifungal drugs and combined treatments that will be effective against life-threatening invasive fungal infections
For the first time: researchers harnessed the process of photosynthesis to produce various materials, in an environmentally friendly process
If bats can hear and detect obstacles, why do they still sometimes crash into walls?
Prof. Ravavi is a partner in the Polymath Prize which is an "experiment in innovation that is based on extreme curiosity" distributed by the Schmidt Pewter Foundation founded by Eric Schmidt, one of the founders of Google
Researchers have uncovered a 6,500-year-old workshop for copper production in the city
