Electroplating: The birth of a single nucleus caught in camera. Electroplating, or electrodeposition, is one of the most important processes in chemistry, in which a metal cation in solution can be reduced to its elemental form by applying an electrical potential to an electrode. Source 4d.
While this is great and cutting edge stuff I will have to look at this more to see what help it can be to us as a whole. Maybe they can figure out some new longer life battery that can be recharged and safer to all. Or some new way to make a stronger more flexible glass that is thin and very resistant to puncture or breakage. I guess we will wait and see what comes from this.
