It is well known that a piece of gold is an excellent metal: it conducts heat and
electricity, it is malleable to work out for jewellery or thin coatings, and it has the
characteristic golden colour. How do these everyday properties – familiar from our
macroscopic world – change when a nanometre-size chunk of gold contains only
100, 200 or 300 atoms?
