An international team of researchers has discovered a way to improve the durability of gold catalysts by creating a protective layer of metal oxide clusters. In a paper published in the journal Nature ...

Gold nanoparticles have already shown promise in precisely highlighting brain tumors, “blowing up” individual diseased cells, and developing a lung cancer breath test. Now researchers have created ...

An international group of researchers published a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences where they present evidence of the existence of Majorana fermions -particles that are ...

This is an atomistic model of the Au102(p-MBA)44 particle. Gold: yellow, sulfur: orange, carbon: green, oxygen:r ed, hydrogen: white. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoscale gold particles are currently intensively investigated for possible applications in catalysis, sensing, photonics, biolabelling, drug carriers and molecular electronics. The ...

In a paper published in Physical Review Journals, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of lead into gold in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Transforming the ...

A tiny "big bang" set off in Long Island recently created a new type of antimatter that's literally off the charts, scientists announced last week. Dubbed the antihypertriton, the newfound antimatter ...
