Prof. Israel Finkelstein from the Department of Archeology at Tel Aviv University takes us into the wonderful journey following the story of the wanderings of the Ark of the Covenant in 360 Samuel and XNUMX Samuel. How the Ark of the Covenant was moved from Shiloh to the Philistine captivity in Ashdod and from there to Kiryat Yaarim in Israel and finally to Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. Who were the writers who wrote the story, when did they write and what was their purpose? From the Tel Aviv XNUMX podcast series of Tel Aviv University
A new study estimates that there is little basis for the hope that coral reefs at great depth will help the survival of corals in shallow waters
An analysis of charcoal remains collected as part of an excavation at the Tel Tsaf polyglot site in the Jordan Valley determines that these are the remains of olive trees. Since the Jordan Valley is outside the olive's natural habitat, this means that the local residents planted the tree on purpose about 7,000 years ago
About a fifth of the world's reptile species are in danger of extinction
New technology offers treatment for the HIV virus through an injection. As part of the research, the researchers succeeded for the first time in the world in engineering type B white blood cells inside the patient's body, so that they secrete antibodies to AIDS. The research was conducted on model animals with great success. All the model animals that received the treatment responded to the injection and had high amounts of the AIDS neutralizing antibody in their blood
Since there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics, two prizes have become the substitute - the Field Prize for young scientists under the age of 40 and the Shaw Prize, which is actually awarded for lifetime achievement
One of the researchers, Rima Ganaim, explains: "The types of agricultural waste in Israel can reach enormous masses of millions of tons per year: animal excrement, carcasses from the meat industry, eggs and other industries, plant waste and waste generated from textile mills. All of these together produce a multitude of hazards that we would be happy to avoid them and at least reduce them"
An experimental drug developed in a laboratory may be suitable for the treatment of a variety of rare syndromes that impair brain function
The winners are: a volunteer in medical aid for the underprivileged and a social activist for needy families
The criteria for selecting the winners: groundbreaking research, quality of teaching, winning research grants from competitive funds, quality and quantity of scientific publications and status in the international academic community
Prof. Oded Lifshitz, head of the Nadler Institute of Archeology in the Lester and Sally Antin Faculty of Humanities, was announced as the recipient of the A.M.T. (Art, Science, Culture) for 2022. The prize will be awarded to him at a ceremony to be held during the month of June, in the capacity of the Prime Minister of Israel.

The nanomedicine that attacks cancer twice: both improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy and strengthens the immune system
Prof. Peled is the seventh researcher to win this medal for his scientific research in the field of conversion and storage of electrochemical energy
The researchers explain that underwater, many insects use tiny bristles that allow them to trap and stabilize water-repellent air bubbles that cover their bodies. As these weeks come into contact with surfaces, they form bridges made of air that allow insects to go underwater. Now this has also been applied to the robot
This is a significant breakthrough that will allow for the first time the carrying out of engineering studies dealing with the industrialization of the green hydrogen production process.
