Scientists Thrilled to Observe The First Milliseconds of Gold Crystal Formation – ScienceAlert

We now know how gold crystals start to form at the atomic scale.
For the first time, scientists have observed and filmed! the first milliseconds of gold crystal formation and found that it’s much more complicated than previous research suggested. Rather than a single, irreversible transition, the atoms come together and fall apart multiple times before stabilizing into a crystal.
This discovery has implications for both materials science and manufacturing, as it bolsters our understanding of how…
