June 07, 2008 was one of those days of scientific déjà vu. Three papers (2 JACS, 1 Nano Letters) that have very similar results were published. All were about very thin Gold nanowires (1.6 - 9 nm in diameter) with high aspect ratios.
Here's the leader board on this Gold (nanowire) rush:
The winner: Younan XIA!
