Their study shows that a unique "dense liquid layer" at the interface between pyrite and water acts as a "nano-factory," promoting the nucleation, growth and enrichment of gold even in fluids with ...

Chinese scientists have, for the first time, captured at the nanoscale the dynamic process by which natural gold nanoparticles form on the surface of pyrite, and proposed a new mechanism in which ...

(Nanowerk News) In a surprise discovery, Flinders University nanotechnology researchers have produced a range of different types of gold nanoparticles by adjusting water flow in the novel vortex ...

An electrooxidation process efficiently converts glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, into high-value three-carbon compounds. An electrochemical process developed by researchers at Tokyo ...

Gold nuggets have long fascinated treasure hunters and geologists alike, often found gleaming within quartz veins deep underground. Yet the exact process behind the formation of these ...

Hydrothermal alteration is a complex geological process that can later serve as an indicator of gold deposits for mineral ...
