Light Beam Knots Allow Us to Store Information and Pass it Along
The mathematical knot theory explores structures of knots and the quantities they conserve. In this research, the knots and their conserved quantities were imprinted into light beams using electro-optical means, in a way that allows encoding information on one end, immediate transfer through optical fiber or free space, and decoding it on the other end.

Research: When The Ground Melts Beneath Our Feet
The area around the Poles have been going through a defrosting process over the last few decades. In addition to the melting of the icebergs, which we all know about, the defrosting process has caused the release of greenhouse gasses, which accelerate global warming.

The Anatomical Structure and Action Mechanism of a Nerve Receptor
During the development of the brain, billions of nerve cells (neurons) have to find their exact place in order to advance the creation of trillions of proper inter-neuron connections, thus allowing us to enjoy proper motor, perceptive and emotional skills.
Complex Post-Trauma is Inherited
Research among second-generation Holocaust survivors indicates that children of survivors, who suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), are at higher risk of developing PTSD themselves. Similar findings arise from research led by Prof. Amit Shrira, along with Dr. Benjamin Mollov of Bar-Ilan University and Chantel Mudahogora, a therapist who survived the Rwanda massacre. Twenty-five years after the Tutsi tribe massacre in Rwanda, it seems that inter-generational influence is present there as well.
Contrary to What We Believe - Music Can Help Children with ADHD to Concentrate
Attention-Deficit\Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most talked-about topics in the field of education and parenting.
