An Israeli artificial intelligence (AI) startup that helps women with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles has announced a successful launch of its technology through one of Norway’s largest private networks of fertility clinics.  Fairtility develops products through a unique technology called CHLOE (Cultivating Life Through Optimal Embryos), which uses AI to assess the viability of a […]

Israeli scientists have developed a new drug to treat Alzheimer’s disease following a recent discovery about how people lose their memories.  The creators of the drug, which is currently undergoing preclinical trials, say it could potentially be life-changing for people living with Alzheimer’s.  The disease – the most common type of dementia, which affected up […]

Male and female brain cells react differently to chronic stress, according to a joint Israeli-German study, whose results could help personalize therapy for stress-related disorders. Prof. Alon Chen, president of the Weizmann Institute of Science, led the collaborative effort between his Rehovot-based research university and the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich to analyze […]

Chinese automotive manufacturer Weifu High-Technology Group has placed an $11.6 million order for radar technology from Israeli startup Arbe Robotics.  Arbe develops radar tech for autonomous driver-assist systems. This includes its Phoenix Perception Radar, a system that can detect driving hazards up to 350 meters away, enable emergency braking and autopilot driving on highways.  The […]

An Israeli microalgae-based protein company has raised $18.5 million in its seed round, which will be used to continue developing their range. Brevel develops lab-grown microalgae products through sugar-based fermentation, a process which uses sugar to ferment the growth of the green algae chlorella in special steel tanks.  The resulting microalgae product is a tasteless […]

An Israeli computer tech startup has raised $8 million in its seed round, which it says will help advance its computer chip technology to meet the growing workloads in artificial intelligence (AI) tasks and machine learning.  NeoLogic develops a unique computer chip design called Quasi-CMOS, which reduces by up to one third the number of […]

An Israeli startup making lab-grown cultivated meat has submitted an application to a Swiss regulatory agency to sell the first ever cultivated beef steaks in Europe. Aleph Farms grow proteins from cell cultures rather than harvesting directly from animals.  In 2017, Aleph Farms unveiled the world’s first slaughter-free steak made from cow cells, and released […]

An Israeli medtech company that freezes and destroys tumors has received approval to provide its treatment in Canada.

Researchers at the Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv have produced a solar panel consisting of 676 different materials that convert the sun’s energy into electricity. It is part of the new class of solar panels developed from AI-based materials science, which means that artificial intelligence (AI) designs the materials in the panels.  This creates a […]

Israeli researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to answer questions about the early humans who lived in the Hula Valley in northern Israel, discovering how smart our ancestors really were when it came to making tools.  A new study led by Dr. Meir Finkel of Tel Aviv University and Prof. Gonen Sharon of Tel-Hai College […]
