A single atom layer of gold – LiU researchers create goldene
For the first time, scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom layer thick. According to the researchers from LiU this has given the gold new properties that can make it suitable for use in various applications.
Super cool science but I absolutely hate the name
Aurene?
Gold leaf is like 500 atoms thick, by just beating gold with a hammer.
I'd thought they already have a process for making one atom thick gold, like vapor deposition.
Vapor deposition makes a very rough surface that does not have an atomically uniform thickness, and would not have the same mechanical or electrical properties as an ordered sheet.
Goldene goldene... Goldene goldene...
Flops uselessly
I was thinking more along the lines of Jolene myself…
huh
I wonder if it's pronounced the same as Goldeen
