For the first time, scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom layer thick. According to the researchers from LiU this has given the gold new properties that can make it suitable for use in various applications.
Vapor deposition makes a very rough surface that does not have an atomically uniform thickness, and would not have the same mechanical or electrical properties as an ordered sheet.
