Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand bonding. They serve as excellent candidates for catalysts, biosensors, and ...

Phosphine ligands modify the structure of metal nanoclusters in a top-down evolutionary process by "peeling" and "etching.” This phosphine-LEIST reaction allows the construction of metal nanoclusters ...

New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...

A group of scientists examined a novel way of altering the architectures of ultra-small nanomaterials. These metal nanoclusters bridge the gap between the metal atom and the bulk metal, making them ...

With each passing day, the performance of aerospace systems is increasing significantly. This requires the use of advanced structural and functional materials that possess the required characteristics ...
