Gold clay from self-assembly of 2D microscale nanosheets

Here, the authors report controlled growth of Au nanosheets on bilayer membranes and self-assembly of nanosheets leads to free-standing gold clay nanostructures. The gold nanostructures possess six orders of magnitude softer stiffness compared to bulk gold, higher plasticity and deformability.
