Chinese Scientists Literally Turn Copper into Silver and Gold

>A team of Chinese researchers have turned cheap copper into a new material “almost identical” to gold, according to a study published in peer-reviewed journal Science Advances on Saturday. The discovery will significantly reduce the use of rare, expensive metals in factories, said the authors.

>The new material created by Sun’s lab cannot be used to make fake gold pennies. Its density remains the same as ordinary copper. But the process could prove lucrative and provide a significant boost for Chinese industries, according to the researchers.

>Precious metals remain central to modern economies. The components of electronic devices, for instance, contain a large amount of gold, silver and platinum. About 40 smartphones can contain as much gold as a tonne of ore, it has been estimated. The method developed by Sun’s team can inject a large amount of energy into copper atoms and made the electrons more dense and stable, they said.

>Professor Sun Jian and colleagues at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Liaoning, shot a copper target with a jet of hot, electrically charged argon gas. The fast-moving ionised particles blasted copper atoms off the target. The atoms cooled down and condensed on the surface of a collecting device, producing a thin layer of sand. The researchers put the material in a reaction chamber and used it as a catalyst to turn coal to alcohol, a sophisticated and difficult chemical process that only precious metals can handle efficiently.

>“The copper nano particles achieved catalytic performance extremely similar to that of gold or silver,” Sun and collaborators said in a statement posted on the academy’s website on Saturday. The new material can resist high temperatures, oxidisation and erosion, according to the researchers.

Whatever these chinks did enabled copper to act the way gold does when used as a sputtering target, which is a very niche method of depositing insanely thin films of metal over a substrate. It uses almost no gold whatsoever and customers return their used targets after the disk gets deformed so it can be remelted. The majority of the cost of these things is from the fabrication process.

[Anonymous No.12258250]

>>12258151
yeah I was confused why they are calling this a new material. What makes these CuNPs special? I see it says it resists oxidation and high temp

And yeah, the article is very misleading. They bring up the use of metals in electronics, as if the copper would be replacing gold then talk about catalyst generation with sputtering lmao

Here's the published study: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/12/eaau3275

On the off chance this isn't yet another case of chinks commiting academic fraud, this may save companies money on certain manufacturing processes. It will however have close to zero effect on the price of gold though. My company may lose a bit of business, but it won't be replacing gold bonding wire or gold in medical devices.

>Its density remains the same as ordinary copper.
Then it's not fucking gold. Gold is defined as atoms with 79 protons. Does your material have 79 protons? No? Fuck off then. The only way to manufacture gold is with nuclear fusion with supernova-tier energies, or the fission of similarly expensive as fuck heavy elements. We can definitely make small numbers of gold atoms with particle accelerators, but it's like ten orders of magnitude easier to dig it out of the ground.

Nobody is going to just find a way to magic up some easy gold.
