(Phys.org) —For hundreds of years, alchemists have tried to turn base metals into precious ones. Though they may never turn lead into gold, scientists have discovered a way to turn a nickel-rich nanoparticle into a platinum-rich "nanoframe" that could shape the development of fuel cells and other electrochemical technologies.
