Highlights from the article: B Front Cover: b A new gas phase plasma method for synthesis of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) via non-thermal radio frequency (RF) plasma is presented and compared to a vacuum hot-wire technique. The plasma method leads to AuNPs with narrow size distribution and small average size, and points to the potential of RF plasmas for metal nanoparticle synthesis. Further details can be found in the article by Alborz Izadi and Rebecca J. Anthony (e1800212).
