An experimental <physicist> who, with <Ph. Buffat>, measured how gold-particle <melting> depends on particle size. <Electron diffraction> tracked the loss of crystalline order during heating. Because the sample contained different particle sizes, careful analysis was needed to assign a melting temperature to a particular diameter, illustrating how a distribution of sizes can blur a nanoscale transition.<Size effect on the melting temperature of gold particles by Ph. Buffat and J-P. Borel>[Abstract: scanning electron diffraction and particle-size-distribution analysis]{ref}
