On the Other Hand: Researchers Report First Experimental Evidence of Optical Chirality in Tiny Nanoclusters of Gold

Link to News Release

A report published in the March 30 issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry presents the first experimental evidence that tiny nanoclusters of metallic gold -- assemblies containing between 20 and 40 gold atoms encapsulated by a common biomolecule -- can display distinctly chiral properties.
