Interview with @UriAlonWeizmann on his amazing paper on the “menopause cliff”
Lifespan
@JoinLifespanOct 15
New menopause study shows abrupt shifts up to a year before the final menstrual period. Hormone therapy appears to erase much of "the cliff”. What organs were protected and can we use this information to prevent diseases? lifespan.com/blogs/magazine/…

Our breakthrough on the Moore girth problem raises a larger question: when will AI become a great scientist? In this lecture, I discuss what made this result possible—and why verification remains a fundamental barrier across science. Watch the lecture youtube.com/watch?v=AIMnYEHj…

1/ Double Agent, our agentic system, has achieved a breakthrough result on one of the most central problems in extremal graph theory. It constructed explicit regular graphs with girth (8/5) log n, the first improvement in 38 years, and a leap towards the theoretical maximum.

🌟 Tiny defects, big sensing possibilities! Our new Perspective in Small explores how defects, molecular coatings, and analytes work together to shape carbon nanotube sensing: doi.org/10.1002/smll.76014 @TelAvivUni @Tel_Aviv_Uni @BioSoftTAU @stem_program @nanocarbons @basu_srestha

Cooperative Regulation of Defect‐Mediated Molecular Recognition With Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Defect-mediated sensing in SWCNTs arises from the cooperative interplay of defect characteristics, density, heterogeneity, analyte properties, corona composition, and environment. Understanding...

Happy to share that I was named one of TIME’s 2026 Longevity Leaders. Our work uses physics-style theory to look for simple principles that can explain the complex dynamics of aging. time.com/collection/longevit…

Longevity Is More Genetic than We Thought. That’s a Good Thing

Research by Uri Alon has found that genes affect longevity significantly more than previously believed. That doesn't mean you're doomed

Identify. Attack. Resolve. The immune system follows a perfect defense program: ignore weak/self signals, attack true threats with force, then shut down to avoid damage. (1/2) science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Excitability as a design principle in the immune system

A simple pulse-and-rest circuit may explain how immune cells strike hard at threats yet avoid self-destruction.
