An autonomous military drone that is pulled out of a soldier's backpack when needed, a dog robot that patrols around the base for security purposes - these are two recent developments, what can they indicate about what is expected of us?

The hidden signature of the artist

Researchers from the Hebrew University examined 300 water jugs in India and found that ethnic identity and local tradition may influence potters unconsciously, to the extent that they produce hidden "signatures" in standard vessels they produce without realizing it. This has applications from archeology to forensics

The Weizmann Institute and Mohammed Bin Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates signed a collaboration in the field of artificial intelligence

The academic cooperation is made possible thanks to the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates that will be signed this week in Washington, USA, and the relationship between the two institutions was created with the assistance of the Intelligence and Special Operations Agency and its chairman

Artificial intelligence is the fulfillment of the totalitarian dream - several ways to return control to our hands

  • One response
Scientists fear that artificial intelligence will know us better than we know ourselves. A government armed with artificial intelligence could claim to know what people really want and what would really make them happy. At best, she will use it to justify paternalism, at worst, totalitarianism

International research: where exactly does the electric current pass in the DNA molecule?

  • No comments
A study published in Nature Nanotechnology led by Prof. Danny Porat of the Hebrew University demonstrated for the first time the conduction of a significant electric current over a long distance in DNA molecules. The discovery is currently used as a basis for the development of a detector that can sensitively and quickly detect cancer markers and even the corona virus

Design of the photonic structure that traps two photons inside. The photons move along the horizontal direction, each one along the arm of the cross. The holes are positioned so that the two photons are captured at the center point where the two arms of the cross cross. The blue and red curves represent the intensity of the electric fields of the corresponding photons. The photons react due to the non-linearity of the crystal that forms the cross.
