Researchers from the University of Leeds in the UK have created what they contend is the world’s thinnest unsupported gold. The material is one million times thinner than a human finger nail and regarded as 2D, and the researchers claim it is 10 times more efficient as a catalytic substrate than the currently used gold nanoparticles. They claim the material, which they have dubbed ‘nanoseaweed’ because of its shape and because it appears green in water, could have a wide range of applications in the electronics and medical devices industries. They also state it could be used as a catalyst to accelerate chemical reactions in a range of industrial processes
