This study decodes the intricate atomic dynamics of metal nanoparticles (NPs) using a machine learning approach. Analyzing high-dimensional data from molecular dynamics simulations of gold NPs with different shapes, an atomic environments (AEs) dictionary labels individual atoms, identifying native and non-native AEs. Tracking AE emergence, annihilation, lifetime, and interconversion provides a 'statistical equivalent identity' for the NPs, offering a comprehensive view of the atomic dynamics influencing their properties.
