They synthesized metal clusters consisting of only 25 gold atoms, one nanometer in diameter. These clusters are soluble in water due to the ligand molecules that protect the gold.

Back in 2023, scientists presented a camera with a shutter speed of just a trillionth of a second, which is 250 million times faster than traditional digital cameras, which open the shutter for about ...

The scientists accomplished this by isolating magnesium atoms using superfluid helium and initiating the production process with a laser pulse. This cluster formation and the associated energy ...

Freestanding clusters of twenty gold atoms take the shape of a pyramid, researchers discovered. This is in contrast with most elements, which organize themselves by forming shells around one ...

The cluster contains only five atoms in total and looks very simple: two oxygen atoms form bridges between two manganese atoms, one of which is bound to a third oxygen atom as a terminal ligand.

C 60 is a hollow sphere made of 60 carbon atoms arranged into a structure of 5- and 6-membered ... Kansas City (USA) independently reported the synthesis of a cluster consisting of 32 gold atoms.

Article Open access Published: 20 April 2016 A nine-atom rhodium–aluminum oxide cluster oxidizes five carbon monoxide molecules Xiao-Na Li, Hua-Min Zhang, Zhen Yuan & Sheng-Gui He Nature ...

A stable cluster of aluminum atoms, Al13, acts as a single entity in chemical reactions, demonstrating properties similar to those of a halogen, reports a research team led by A Welford Castleman ...
