Through a relatively easy and inexpensive technique based on blending nanoparticles with block co-polymer supramolecules , the researchers produced multiple-layers of thin films from highly ordered one- , two- and three-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles . Thin films such as these have potential applications for a wide range of fields , including computer memory storage , energy harvesting , energy storage , remote-sensing , catalysis ,
