2D Gold Quantum Dots on Boron Nitride Nanotube (2 of 2) (VIDEO)

Michigan Technological University

Caption

Gold atoms ski along the surface of boron nitride nanotubes. Better understanding this phenomena, using detailed atomic images from a scanning electron microscope (STEM), could help physicists, materials scientists, and computer engineers develop better computers, cell phones, wearable devices, and other electronics.
