A team of researchers have successfully created the thinnest sheet of metal ever by applying a century-old Japanese technique. This breakthrough, called Goldene, has the potential to revolutionize the development of super catalysts, ultra high density optical storage, and numerous other advanced technologies.
Described by Nature as the “gilded cousin of Graphene”, Goldene is a one-atom-thick sheet of gold created by scientists from Linköping University (LiU) in Sweden.…
