Researchers recently discovered a unique copper-silver nanoparticle structure that has a core of one element surrounded by a 'cage' of the other element. However, the cage does not cover certain areas of the core, which very much resembles the Japanese glass fishing floats traditionally covered with rope called ukidama.
