Article Synopsis
  • Three-dimensional mesostructured semiconductors have potential applications but lack many synthesis methods.
  • By using metal diffusion on semiconductor surfaces, specifically gold on silicon nanowires, researchers have created etchant-resistant patterns through a process of deposition-diffusion-incorporation.
  • This technique produces unique skeletal and motif structures, and it shows that individual gold atoms play a crucial role in the lithographic process while improving the strength of the resulting material's interaction with hydrogels.
