Hallstrom et al. applied graph theory to quantify the evolution of truncated gold nanocube assemblies imaged using electron microscopy.

1 Introduction Low density solids characterized by a high volume fraction of nanoscale pores are typically referred to as aerogels.[1, 2] As emblematic complex materials, aerogels combine intricate percolation patterns with non-random disorder,[3, 4] exhibiting an exceptional combination of properties.
