A joint research team led by Professor Jaeyoung Sung of Chung-Ang University has developed a groundbreaking theory that overturns the long-standing Gibbs-Thomson equation and Classical Nucleation Theory, which have underpinned nanoparticle science for over a century. Through real-time observations using liquid-phase TEM and comprehensive theoretical modeling, the team proposed a new equation for chemical potential that explains anomalous growth behaviors of ultra-small nanoparticles. This theory provides the first quantitative explanation for size-focusing phenomena and opens new avenues for materials synthesis, biomedical applications, and disease mechanism studies.
