Scientists uncover spin-catalytic activity correlation in single-atom and -electron tailored gold nanoclusters

Apr 09, 2025 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 Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has consecutively removed the innermost atom and...
