For the first time, researchers have determined the dynamical behavior of the ligand layer of a water-soluble gold nanocluster in solution. Nanometre-scale gold particles are used for applications as catalysts, sensors, drug delivery devices and biological contrast agents and as components in photonics and molecular electronics.
