Physicists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have made two important findings regarding [gold on the nanoscale](http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?id=1738&ref=protein.xyz).

They found that applying an electrical field on a surface-supported gold nanocluster changes its structure from a three-dimensional one to a planar flat structure.

In another paper, they relate their discovery that gold in this size regime can be made magnetic through oxygenation of gold nanowires.

Small is Different.
