Gold leaf is like 500 atoms thick, by just beating gold with a hammer.

I'd thought they already have a process for making one atom thick gold, like vapor deposition.

Vapor deposition makes a very rough surface that does not have an atomically uniform thickness, and would not have the same mechanical or electrical properties as an ordered sheet.

Goldene goldene... Goldene goldene...

Flops uselessly

I wonder if it's pronounced the same as Goldeen
