Copper nanoclusters are like tiny teams of atoms that can do big things, like helping to turn CO2 into useful stuff. But these teams often fall apart because copper atoms are too reactive. Most of the time, scientists use copper(I) atoms to build these clusters, but they're not as good at their job
