Professor Paltiel lab goal is to develop novel nano tool box that controls environmental coupling therefore the quantum states, opening the way for room temperature quantum operating devices. In all the lab systems the coupling is controlled by organic molecules, and the room temperature quantum states are induced by nano particles. For example, professor Paltiel group is working on a new, promising, effective approach for spintronics, termed Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS). Studying the CISS effect it was found that chiral molecules, and especially helical ones, can serve as very efficient spin filter. Recently, by utilizing this effect Professor Paltiel group demonstrated a magnet less spin based magnetic memory operating at ambient conditions. The presented technology has the potential to overcome the limitations of other magnetic-based memory technologies to allow fabricating inexpensive, high-density universal and embedded memory-on-chip devices.

Professor Paltiel have experience working in leading high-tech industry groups and in the academic world. Since July 2009, he is the head of the Quantum Nano Engineering group at the Hebrew University, Israel. His group’s goal is to establish a way to incorporate quantum mechanics into room temperature "classical" computation and reading schemes. This will provide quantum coherence control at nanometer scale distances, while maintaining the physical characteristics of currently available computer input-output devices. Professor Paltiel has published more than 95 papers in leading journals as well as issued 12 patents.

Professor Paltiel also have a startup company named Valentis Nanotech was founded in 2013. The company utilizes nanocellulose unique properties to produce a biodegradable transparent sheet with additional controlled optical and gas/water barrier properties. The sheets properties are controlled by introducing nano-crystals dispersed within the nanocellulose C layers. The mechanical properties of the NCC coated plastic sheets were shown to be significantly improved, without being compromised by the nanocrystals addition.
