Caption

The TEM video of gold nanocrystal formation. The video has a temporal resolution of 10 ms and is slowed down by 2x (from 100 frames per second to 50 frames per second). The scale bar denotes 1 nm. The gold atoms repeatedly undergo reversible transitions between disordered state and crystalline state early on during the crystallization process, before becoming stabilized as the crystal grows larger.
