Chinese scientists have, for the first time, captured at the nanoscale the dynamic process by which natural gold ...

Their study shows that a unique "dense liquid layer" at the interface between pyrite and water acts as a "nano-factory," promoting the nucleation, growth and enrichment of gold even in fluids with ...

Such alteration is easily visualized, often showing a light pink color on a rock surface. It can be used as an indicator of nearby gold mineralization. Despite this well-documented relationship, it ...

(Nanowerk News) In a surprise discovery, Flinders University nanotechnology researchers have produced a range of different types of gold nanoparticles by adjusting water flow in the novel vortex ...
