«Golden» Moment: New Material Made of Gold, Graphene Analog

Research published in the journal Nature Synthesis introduces a new material called «golden» — a thin layer of gold similar to graphene.

This material has unique properties and can be widely used in various fields, including water purification and communication technologies.

Similar to graphene, «golden» could be key to reducing costs of gold in electronics.

Researchers are also exploring the possibility of creating similar materials from other metals, opening up new prospects in the field of materials science.
