Metallic Networks: Nanoporous Metallic Networks: Fabrication, Optical Properties, and Applications (Adv. Mater. 41/2018)

In article number 1706755, Adi Salomon and co-workers discuss nanoporous metals made of a 3D solid skeleton with a sub-optical-wavelength size of both particles and voids. Their disordered nanostructure endows them with interesting optical properties. Large-scale metallic networks enable connection between the nanoworld and the macroscopic world, and may pave the way to original materials with exclusive optoelectronic properties.
