“Zum Golde drängt, am Golde hängt doch alles.”
— J. W. Goethe, Faust I
("For gold contend, on gold depend all things.")
Gold has captivated the imagination of poets, scientists, and alchemists alike—and in today’s world, it continues to shine not just in value, but in cutting-edge scientific research.
We are excited to share that our recent research on gold and gold-based nanostructures, published in the prestigious ChemAsian Journal, has now been featured under the "HOT TOPIC: GOLD" section on the webpage of Chemistry – A European Journal. This recognition is part of a special curation by Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 chemical societies from 15 European countries.
Our article has been selected for its innovation and impact. Please read and explore. HOT TOPIC – GOLD | https://lnkd.in/d9B2dwMq.
