Goldene: A single atom layer of gold
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.
But when we exposed the component to high temperature, the silicon layer was replaced by gold inside the base material,” says Lars Hultman.
