Diatom frustules were replicated into gold microstructures with a high-precision, entirely preserving their shape and micro and nanoscale porous features.enCopyright © 2010 IEEEdiatomsdiatomaceous earthgold electroless depositionthree-dimensional microstructuretemplate synthesisConference paper002012836510.1109/ICONN.2010.60451992-s2.0-8055515761419474Losic, D.
