Happy Hanukkah!
Celebrating the Technion’s Centennial with a unique hanukkiah created in a collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning and the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering!
The hanukkiah was designed and 3D-printed using ceramic materials and natural blue and white pigments at the DD Lab research laboratory, led by Architect Shany Barath. The design incorporates the message “100 Years of the Technion” as an encoded texture on the body of the hanukkiah.
The hanukkiah features colorful candles made of semiconductor perovskite nanoparticles, produced in Prof. Yehonadav Bekenstein’s research lab. These candles glow under ultraviolet light, and their colors are determined by their size and chemical composition.
Together, the hanukkiah and candles symbolize growth, collaboration, and hope.
