Swedish scientists at Linköping University create a single-atom-thick gold material, "goldene," using a 100-year-old Japanese method for potential applications in CO2 conversion, hydrogen production, and chemical production.

Scientists at Linköping University in Sweden have created "goldene", an incredibly thin version of gold, only one atom layer thick. This material, similar to graphene, could be used in applications such as carbon dioxide conversion, hydrogen production, and production of value-added chemicals. The researchers employed a 100-year-old method used by Japanese smiths to achieve this breakthrough.
