A new study by the Hebrew University has unveiled a significant advancement in chaos theory, introducing a flux-based statistical theory that predicts chaotic outcomes in non-hierarchical three-body systems. This breakthrough holds practical implications for fields such as celestial mechanics, astrophysics, and molecular dynamics, offering a more efficient and precise approach to analyzing complex systems and enabling deeper exploration and understanding of chaotic phenomena.

Research introduces new DNA methylation-based method for accurately assessing cell composition in the human pancreas, addressing a critical gap in diabetes research. By overcoming limitations of traditional protein marker-based approaches, the study provides a more precise means to identify specific cell types. The findings offer insights into beta-cell dysfunction across diabetes types and have direct clinical implications, enhancing our understanding of diabetes development and potentially guiding more tailored treatment strategies.

New study at Hebrew University uncovered a previously unknown connection between light and magnetism. This discovery could lead to super-fast light-controlled memory technology and innovative sensors that detect the magnetic part of light. This breakthrough is expected to revolutionize how we store data and build devices in various industries.

In 2023,  22 cases of gender-based murders of women were perpetrated in Israel by  men. The ethnic breakdown showcased a significant divide, with 50% of victims being Jewish and 41% hailing from the Arab sector, encompassing Druze, Bedouin, and Muslim women. In 86% of the instances, the victims shared a prior relationship with the perpetrators, who were nearly all (95%) from their own ethnic communities. 59% of known killers were either spouses or family members of the victims.

New study reveals intricate link between psychological resilience, mood variations, and inhibitory control in an ecological setting. Notably, the connection between an individual's capacity for inhibitory control and their day-to-day mood is significantly shaped by their underlying level of psychological resilience. This discovery underscores the complex interplay between cognitive functions and emotional reactions, providing invaluable insights into the manifestation of resilient behavior in daily life.
