Excellence in Applied Research Recognized
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Congratulations to Zuckerman Faculty Scholar Yossi Weizmann, Professor of Chemistry at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, on receiving the 2024–2025 Breakthrough Applied Research Award recognizing his team’s recent work on sustainable chemical synthesis.
Dr, Weizmann’s innovative technology uses photothermal materials to harness light energy, replacing the need for heavy industrial heating in chemical reactions.
This opens new possibilities for greener and more energy-efficient production processes. Using light-triggered reactions enables advanced material synthesis with greater precision and significantly reduces environmental impact.
