The question of what happens for larger clusters is still open. Although it has been possible to make hollow 32-atom gold nanospheres surrounded by an organic thiolate shell 9, less is known about ...

Scientists precisely removed a gold nanocluster's core atom and outer electron, revealing how spin state affects catalytic activity without structural loss. (Nanowerk News) In a breakthrough that ...

Researchers precisely removed a gold nanoparticle's core atom and outermost electron to study how magnetic spin affects its catalytic activity. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from the Hefei ...

consecutively removed the innermost atom and the outermost electron of a gold nanoparticle—without disturbing its overall structure. This precise manipulation allowed them to probe how the ...
