When it comes to cancer, Israeli scientists have developed innovative ways at not only detecting tumors, but also erradicating them as well. However it looks like BioCancell method could help us exterminate this horrible disease, without killing off our healthy cells. The FDA granted the status to the company’s BC-819 treatment. Biocancell uses targeted...

Unless one is fortunate enough to live in a country with advance medical facilities, accessing a doctor who can easily diagnose deadly diseases is (more or less) a luxury for the wealthy. In order to help doctors in third world nations (as well as first world countries) easily diagnose patients, RapiDx has created a unique tool that could help save...

While there are advanced mechanical devices to help paraplegics physically move about, finding a way to help patients who are completely paralyzed communicate (let alone move) has been nothing more than a dream for most doctors. Fortunately it looks as if technology developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science may not only help these patients talk to loved...

What do mechanical airplanes, power plants and the human tract have in common? Not much, unless one considers that both are frustrating to fix, at least when it comes to leaks and blockages, respectively. Fortunately it looks as if a “little” invention may help engineers and doctors locate the source of the problem without having to operate upon...

It looks like 3GSolar, an Israeli company located in the eternal capital of Jerusalem may have created one of the first solar cells capable of operating in shade. (Globes Online) 3GSolar Ltd. claims to have achieved a breakthrough in photovoltaic cells. 3GSolar founder, president and chief scientist Dr. Jonathan Goldstein says, “Our 225-square centimeter...

Not too long ago last year, it seemed as if half the planet was worried about Swine Flu (or as the government and elite like to call it, H1N1). While fears of the flu killing en mass have (thankfully) evaporated, there are probably a few individuals still weary that this little virus may once again wreck havoc on their body. Fortunately for those with Swine Flu...

Since I have both friends and family who have suffered from heart disease (whether it be heart attacks or just merely having stints installed), this technology speaks to me personally. Arineta, a medical company located in the Israeli city of Caesarea, has developed a light weight device that can take still images of the heart–which could make it easier...

While I have heard of Israeli’s using nuclear waste, solar energy and animal waste to power their cities, this is the first time that I have heard of them using commuters. (Haaretz.com) An Israeli company has developed a method of generating electricity from road traffic, and Israeli may look to implement the system on the nation’s highways. The...

If there is one thing Gmail (an email service by Google) is known for it is its archiving and anti spam features. While gmail is great and dandy (note: this author loves Gmail) some companies may want something similar to handle mail on their own servers instead of Google’s. PineApp, which is located in Nesher (which is right underneath Haifa) has created...

With the global recession upon us, many families are trying to find inexpensive ways to heat their home. While many people choose wood stove furnaces (mainly because the expense is cheaper than oil and gas–especially if you get the wood for free), Israel may have a greener solution that does not require chopping down a tree. (Israel 21st Century) In the...

If there is anything people probably hate about flying, it’s probably the long security lines. While many people do not mind security agents scanning their bodies (or requiring that they walk through a metal detector), taking off one’s shoe can be rather irritating (especially if you are running late for a flight). In order to help speed up the...

(via Israel 21st Century) It looks like a new piece of technology may have the potential of taking years of ones face. While the product may not appeal to guys like me (as the most we care about is how hairy our faces our), this device may become a big hit among the ladies (as it may be cheaper than having various surgeries–not to mention less...
