The answer lies in terpenes, a diverse group of aromatic organic compounds produced by plants, bacteria, and fungi.

These compounds are responsible for a wide range of colours and fragrances in nature. In a recent study, Professor Dan Major and his research team from the Department of Chemistry and the Institute of Nanotechnology at Bar-Ilan University solved one of the puzzles related to terpene production.

Eleven hundred new Olim considering a college education attended an academic fair this week at Bar-Ilan University. The full-service fair included representatives from the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption, the Israel Student Authority, Diaspora immigrant organizations, the Israel Defense Forces, and more.
