1 Genuine 23K Gold Leaf is available in books with 25 sheets measuring 3-1/8 x 3-1/8. 2  The sheets are referred to as leaves.  Our leaf is the finest European leaf available.
Invisible to the naked eye, the objects are 12 nm (12 billionths of a meter) wide. That's big for a nanoscale molecule. It's huge, said Hla, an associate professor of physics and astronomy. This man-made fractal molecule resembles a Star of David.This man-made structure is one of the first nanoscale, non-branched fractal molecules ever produced, said Newkome, who is lead author on the study's paper (published online today by the journal Science).ractals are irregular curves or shapes that retain the same pattern when reduced or magnified. The molecule in the study, for example, is composed of six rings, which are made up of six smaller rings, and so on, Hla said. Snowflakes, broccoli florets or tree bark would be just a few examples from nature.
All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Molecular hydrogen (H 2), molecular oxygen (O 2) and molecular nitrogen (N 2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element.he smallest bit of each of these substances would be referred to as a molecule. For example, a single molecule of molecular hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen while a single molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
