A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Gold ...
Researchers visualized how gold nanocrystals coalesce at the atomic level, uncovering size, defect, and approach-dependent pathways that shape crystal structure. (Nanowerk News) Crystallization, a ...
Crystallization, a fundamental process in nature, hinges on two distinct stages: nucleation and growth. The latter plays a pivotal role in shaping the morphology, size, and purity of crystalline ...
