Israel Active

Scientists at Israel’s Technion Institute have developed a software package that enables computers to perform processing operations directly in memory, bypassing the CPU.

Intel has just launched its Israeli-developed Arrow Lake –codename for Intel’s 15th generation Core Ultra Series 2 microprocessors.  They are successors to Lunar Lake (see previously), Meteor Lake, and Raptor Lake (13th & 14th generations). Desktop AI computers are now planned.  (Deep tech review of Arrow Lake)

NASA is to integrate cameras from Israel’s Odysight.ai (see previously) into its hypersonic aerospace vehicles. Odysight’s systems will monitor any damage to the aerospace vehicles parts during flight trials. E.g. the Mach 5 X-43A hypersonic research aircraft.

It’s hard to keep up with Technion Professor Marcelle Machluf. Back in 2022 she was developing the NanoGhost anti-cancer therapy (see previously). Now she has launched Meatafora - a startup that cultivates vegan meat from plant-based cells.

The technology of Israel’s TextRe transforms mixed synthetic polymers (e.g. nylon and polyester) found in textile waste into ecofriendly recycled raw material that manufacturers can use to make high-value and cost-effective sustainable products. TextRe is representing Israel at COP29 Azerbaijan.

Dr. Yossi Rabinovitch of Israel’s Ariel University has developed patented technology to help identify the origin of a diamond and help stabilize the gemstone industry. Using advanced spectroscopy and imaging, his method quickly analyzes fluorescence patterns under UV or laser light.

Israel’s Savvy.Security (see previously) has been named a 2024 SINET16 Innovator Award Winner. Savvy Security was identified as one of the most innovative and compelling technologies for addressing cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.

1,000+ species of fungi grow in Israel - many with medicinal properties - but there isn’t a comprehensive mapping of their DNA. For his PhD, Israeli mycology enthusiast Elad Gillon launched a science initiative, enlisting foragers to collect wild mushrooms. The project then “mushroomed”!

More on Israel’s Inhayle (see previously) that won Israel’s Expand space accelerator program and is gearing up to deploy its multi-spectrum disinfection system on NASA’s deep-space exploration missions. The system emits ozone-free hydroxyl radicals to neutralize volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Israel’s Bladeranger (see previously) has completed a pilot to clean the glass roofs of railway stations in Germany. It hopes to clean the roofs of all 5,400 German railway stations. Bladeranger will also work with Israel’s Propellor Drones to clean the solar fields of Israel’s Electra.
