The figure depicts the damaged (incomplete) outer wall of carbon nanotubes rolled inside each other. On top of this wall are nanometer graphene parts (the white surfaces) which encourage the formation of catalysis sites consisting of iron (yellow) and nitrogen (red) atoms. This catalyst recycles oxygen into the water. Image: Stanford University

Prof. Aryeh Tsavan, head of the Center for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials at Bar-Ilan University presents the "floating room" whose floor is detached from the ground to isolate the room in order to allow the sensitive laboratory equipment to carry out studies with maximum precision. 10 million dollars were invested in the establishment of the room and it will feature some of the most sophisticated scientific equipment in the world, including a microscope that will allow drilling into nanometer materials.

The center for nanotechnology and advanced materials, the largest of its kind in Israel, was launched in Bar-Ilan
