Electron and photon beams drive same gold-forming reaction toward different nanoscale structures
Beauty and mystery—it is hard to imagine a more alluring combination, and this is precisely what we encounter when we observe phenomena in the nanoworld. But are we really sure that observations made using modern microscopic techniques do not influence what is happening there? A comparison of images of copper oxide nanoparticles reacting with chloroauric acid, obtained using electron and photon…
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
