金属纳米颗粒在许多应用中是有趣的，因为它们独特的性质不同于原子和宏观水平。但是，尽管这种纳米颗粒或纳米团簇已经在实验室中制造了几十年，但这一过程究竟是如何发生的仍然是一个谜。现在，匹兹堡大学的研究人员认为，他们可能已经解开了金属纳米团簇形成的关键-这一切都取决于核和壳之间的能量平衡[Taylor和Mpourmpakis，Nature Communications（2017）8：15988，doi：10.1038/ncomms15988 http：//dx。doi。org/10. 1038/ncomms15988]。
Metal nanoparticles are intriguing for many applications because their unique properties differ from both the atomic and macro level. But although such nanoparticles or nanoclusters have been fabricated in the lab for decades, exactly how this process takes place has remained something of a mystery.Now researchers from the University of Pittsburgh think that they may have unlocked the key to metal nanocluster formation—and it all depends on the energy balance between the core and the shell [Taylor and Mpourmpakis, Nature Communications (2017) 8: 15988, doi: 10.1038/ncomms15988 http://dx. doi. org/10. 1038/ncomms15988].
