Physicists have made important findings regarding gold on the nanoscale. They found that gold in this size regime can be made magnetic through oxygenation of gold nanowires.

They also found that up to a certain length, oxygenated gold nanowires behave as a conducting metal, but beyond that, they become insulators.
