Gold nanoparticles found unique properties
Scientists became interested in gold. Chemically, this noble metal is extremely inert, however, as it turned out recently, gold can also show very significant chemical activity, but only in Nanomir. Nanoparticles with unusual properties were devoted to many reports at the 5th International Scientific Conference "Gold-2009", held last week in Heidelberg, the German Wave reports. These nanoparticles were opened by Taiwanese scientists in 1997, and almost by accident.
