1 Genuine 23K Gold Leaf is available in books with 25 sheets measuring 3-1/8 x 3-1/8. 2  The sheets are referred to as leaves.  Our leaf is the finest European leaf available.
Invisible to the naked eye, the objects are 12 nm (12 billionths of a meter) wide. That's big for a nanoscale molecule. It's huge, said Hla, an associate professor of physics and astronomy. This man-made fractal molecule resembles a Star of David.This man-made structure is one of the first nanoscale, non-branched fractal molecules ever produced, said Newkome, who is lead author on the study's paper (published online today by the journal Science).ractals are irregular curves or shapes that retain the same pattern when reduced or magnified. The molecule in the study, for example, is composed of six rings, which are made up of six smaller rings, and so on, Hla said. Snowflakes, broccoli florets or tree bark would be just a few examples from nature.
The end goal is to use such artificial molecules whose structure and working agenda resemble those of peptides in order to boost the human body's ability to fight cancer. These man-made molecules could potentially serve to treat said condition.According to the Alpha Galileo Foundation, the artificial peptides created by Peter Scott, Roger Phillips and their colleagues are not the first man-made molecules of this kind to have until now been obtained in laboratory conditions. recent paper in the journal Nature Chemistry documents the development of molecules whose behavior is similar to that of compounds naturally occurring in the body and that researchers say could help fight cancer.
