Commented presentation

In the laboratories of nanocatalysis, tiny catalysts - clusters - smaller than one nanometer are prepared, so that we can at least imagine it closely, the clusters are 50,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. 

We prepare these clusters using "big and little brother". Subsequently, we examine their properties, also using a reaction cell made of 24 carat gold.
