These nanoyaps react to the light between the close infrared range. In this way, they can be used to create clearer medical images and effectively convert light into energy. The study was published in the American Chemical Association Magazine.
The gold in nanotechnology is appreciated not only for beauty but also for special features at atomic levels. Typically, nanoclastters are obtained by connecting gold ions to preservatives. However, it is very difficult to manage their shapes and dimensions.
Scientists applied non -standard synthesis conditions and “captured” clusters in the early moments of growth. With the help of radiographic analysis, they found that clusters grow irregularly and form new pen structures from triangles and tetrahedron.
These “needles” electrons show quantum effects only at certain energy levels. Discovery was unexpected even for the researchers themselves.
