Thank you; it seems I may have misunderstood. From the article, "The method chosen, in which the gold particles are crystallised directly during manufacture of the aerogel protein structure (and not, for example, added to an existing scaffold) is new. The method's biggest advantage is that it makes it easy to obtain a homogeneous gold aerogel, perfectly mimicking gold alloys." The paragraph, on drying, preceded the above text. Hope this helps.
