Researchers recreate deep-earth conditions to test stress impact on iron

Iron’s response to stress under such high temperatures and pressures had never been measured to this extent before, leaving researchers puzzled as to how the iron would react.

Israeli and German researchers collaborate to present vertical lasers

The research group utilized the concepts of topological photonics with VCSELs that emit light vertically, resulting in a strong and clear laser.

Israeli scientists use 'laser tweezer' to study DNA mystery - study

Using optical tweezer technology, Technion researchers were able to gain a greater understanding of the poorly understood DNA packaging process, which impacts how genes are expressed.

Optical tweezers apply force on DNA, and "unzip" it into two separate strands. Upon reaching the chromatosome the unzipping is halted by contacts of the histone proteins (yellow, pink, blue) with the DNA, revealing whether the chromatosome is in an "open" (right) or "closed" (left) structure.
