Peanut-Shaped Nanostructures

Tiny acorns that fuse together in pairs to form miniature peanuts – Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing peanut-shaped nanoparticles comprised of two different sulfur-containing substances. The ends of the “peanuts” are made of palladium sulfide and the center of cobalt sulfide, report scientists working with Toshiharu Teranishi in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
