Biomimetic Crystallization of COOH-Functionalized Gold Achieved After Long Pursuit
Scientists have long sought to develop a method to create a novel type of crystallization, one that involves the co-crystallization of COOH (carboxylic acid) functionalized gold. This process, known as biomimetic crystallization, has the potential to revolutionize the way materials are created, providing a means to control the size and shape of nanostructures with unprecedented precision. In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have finally achieved this goal, creating a novel form of gold nanostructures using the biomimetic crystallization process. The scientists believe that their method could be used to create a variety of novel and complex materials, with potential applications ranging from catalysts to biosensors.
