The other day we had the article on the discovery of bundles of gold nanowires ~ after a relatively simple process involving binding gold bromide salts with a corn sugar, then breaking the gold free with a simple food preservative.

Again, a case where we get a bundle of nanowires ~ instead of a chain! That one also suggests some possible uses for Au in biological processes ~ maybe we should look for it ~ no reason somebody out there couldn't have a gold based DNA
