The ancient craft of goldbeating—using pressure to make paper-thin gold leaf—enters the nanoscale in a study where gold nanoparticles as tiny as ~18 nm are compressed into 2D sheets. In PNAS Nexus: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/8/pgad267/7245834
Nanoscale goldbeating: Solid-state transformation of 0D and 1D gold nanoparticles to anisotropic 2D morphologies

Abstract. Goldbeating is the ancient craft of thinning bulk gold (Au) into gossamer leaves. Pioneered by ancient Egyptian craftsmen, modern mechanized iteration
