A graphic illustration of the properties of the titanium-air battery, in the style of the periodic table of the chemical elements, with the unique electrical and energetic characteristics and properties of the innovative battery. This is how the researchers and developers of the titanium-air battery envision it: removing the oxide protective layer on top of titanium is likened in their eyes to the old Titan, full of tremendous energy but imprisoned in a dark cave for ages. The group of scientists discovered a way to break through the "passive" barrier and release the energy stored in the one-eyed giant - the chemical energy stored in it turns, in the structure of the innovative battery, into electrical energy.

The silicone sheet as it appears before it is wrapped around the heart or nerve tissue. The colors you see are due to the porosity of the surface - nanoholes that refract and absorb the different wavelengths of light in an inhomogeneous manner, which causes the different colors of the rainbow to appear.

Artificial intelligence in the service of cancer medicine

A conceptual illustration of the chess battle between the cancer cells and the anti-cancer drugs. Most cancer deaths are related to the development of drug resistance and the formation of metastases. In both processes, the cancer cells face difficult and new challenges and a strain: finding a bypass for the drug, or a way to adapt to a foreign and hostile tissue. Unfortunately, the cells often manage to overcome these challenges. How does this happen? This is a complex process, and among other things, the cells go through a process of learning, which involves trial and error, while searching among a large number of configurations and internal states. The theory of learning theory constitutes a mental and mathematical framework for understanding these processes. A review of the current literature shows that basic concepts of learning theory provide an explanation for results that do not correspond to the popular concept. Linking the search process to a concrete mathematical model demonstrates its feasibility. (Illustration: Harel Spring)
