Invitation to a lecture concert in honor of 100 years of quantum mechanics

In honor of the centennial celebrations, and under the auspices of the Quantum Center of Tel Aviv University, I am organizing, together with cellist Dr. Shulamit Sarid, a unique concert that will tell the story of quantum mechanics, from the creation of the universe to the present.

The strange dance of ion and atom

Forecasting dust storms is a complicated matter. A new study was able to predict storms in our region with a high level of accuracy - and thereby outline how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to understand processes in the atmosphere

The moment of truth has arrived - will we hear about new physics this week?

After almost two decades accompanied by technical and financial challenges, on the 7th of April we heard, perhaps, exciting news from Permilab Laboratories in the United States. The second run experiment was set up to measure the muon's magnetic moment
The scientists took advantage of the fact that chirality affects an electron property called "spin", which is characterized by two states - "spin up" and "spin down" - similar to the spinning of a spinning top clockwise or counterclockwise. Illustration: Prof. Ron Naaman, Weizmann Institute
