Israeli researchers have printed the world’s first 3-D vascularized, engineered heart using human tissue. They used a patient’s own cells and biological material and the heart has blood vessels. The 3-D heart produced at TAU is only the size of a rabbit heart but larger human hearts could be produced using the same technology. The …
Israel SpaceIL Has Funding for Second Moon Landing Attempt
SpaceIL’s unmanned, privately-funded “Beresheet” spacecraft attempted a historic lunar landing! Unfortunately in the last moments, there were issues with the main engine and they lost communications with the spacecraft, which impacted the Moon. They were able to successfully orbit the Moon. They lost control of the spacecraft about 150 meters above the lunar surface. SOURCES …

Aridor, chairman of the board of AEBi and CEO Dr. Ilan Morad, say the AEBi anti-cancer treatment, which they call MuTaTo (multi-target toxin) is essentially on the scale of a cancer antibiotic – a disruption technology of the highest order. They are using peptides. MuTaTo is using a combination of several cancer-targeting peptides for each …
Nanosatellites the size of milk cartons arranged in a spherical (annular) configuration were able to capture images that match the resolution of the full-frame, lens-based or concave mirror systems used on today’s telescopes. They created a miniature model with a circular-shaped display of sub-apertures to test an image’s resolution. The researchers then contrasted these images …
