Volume 93, Issue 7

Fluorescence from solutions of small gold nanoclusters dissolved in water. These nanoclusters behave like multielectron artificial atoms, emitting at discrete wavelengths in the visible and IR with the wavelength increasing with the size of the cluster. Shown from left to right is emission from solutions of Au5, Au8, and Au13 nanoclusters. [Jie Zheng, Caiwei Zhang, and Robert M. Dickson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 077402 (2004)]
