When Nature Meets Technology

When Nature Meets Technology

16 September 2026

Are you a night person or a day person?
At Assoc. Prof. Omer Yehezkeli’s Nano-Bio Interfaces Lab, there’s no need to choose – they combine the two!
A team from the lab recently published a comprehensive review in Chemical Reviews, one of the world’s leading scientific journals.
In the article, “To Biotic or Abiotic: Biohybrid Systems for Artificial Photosynthesis,” Prof. Yehezkeli and researchers Dr. Yifat Cohen, Dr. Oren Bachar, Dr. Roy Cohen, and Dr. Matan Meirovich explore one of the key challenges in artificial photosynthesis:
How can biological systems and synthetic materials be effectively integrated?
How can electrons and energy be efficiently transferred between them?
Or, in simpler terms: how can we harness nature’s remarkable ability to produce energy and combine it with advanced technology to benefit society?
The review also highlights the enormous potential of biohybrid systems for real-world applications – from energy production and waste degradation to the production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more.
A fascinating look at what can happen when the biological and the artificial come together.
