Their study shows that a unique "dense liquid layer" at the interface between pyrite and water acts as a "nano-factory," promoting the nucleation, growth and enrichment of gold even in fluids with ...

Chinese scientists have, for the first time, captured at the nanoscale the dynamic process by which natural gold nanoparticles form on the surface of pyrite, and proposed a new mechanism in which ...

Such alteration is easily visualized, often showing a light pink color on a rock surface. It can be used as an indicator of nearby gold mineralization. Despite this well-documented relationship, it ...
