Researchers have created a micro-robot the size of a single biological cell that navigates using both electricity and magnetic fields and can identify and capture a single cell, opening the door to a vast array of applications.

Scientists in Israel have leveraged commercially available sensors to develop an advanced lie-detection system they say outperforms any other known method, by monitoring contorting muscles associated with deception.

Researchers have managed to create a kind of cyborg, integrating the ear of a locust into a robot. The robot was then able to respond to noises that the biological sensor picked up, which could pave the way for more sensitive and efficient sensors.

Using electrical storms as a jumping off point, scientists at Israel’s Tel Aviv University believe they may have uncovered a new source of renewable energy, generating a small voltage using only water and metal.

With the humble handwritten signature still the most commonly used form of biometric used to verify someone's identity, researchers have developed software that leverages the motion detection capabilities of a smartwatch to verify a signature as it is written.

Using genetic engineering, researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have modified algae to boost its hydrogen production by 400 percent. This could lead to algae being used to mass-produce hydrogen on an industrial scale.

A ​team at Tel Aviv University's (TAU's) Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology​ have developed an alternative​ to the invasive needle electrodes used in electromyotherapy, in the form of an electronic "tattoo" that unobtrusively monitors muscle activity.​

​Despite the fact that locusts are held in fairly low regard by us humans, there's a chance that you may one day be saved by one … or at least, by a robotic locust. Israeli researchers have created a locust-inspired search-and-rescue robot.

You'd hope that a school of environmental studies would practice what it preaches. Well, Tel Aviv University's Porter School of Environmental Studies does so emphatically. Its newly inaugurated building is, it says, the first LEED Platinum-certified in Israel and the greenest in the Middle East.

While it is possible to squeeze optical zoom lenses into phones, Tel Aviv University spinoff company Corephotonics has developed a sleeker alternative, that utilizes the combined output of two compact lenses.

A new building at Tel Aviv University features a standalone EcoWall that aims to provide vertical garden space and research facilities for its faculty.

Using blood, milk and mucus proteins, researchers have created transistors they claim could form the basis of a new generation of electronic devices that are both flexible and biodegradable.
