Aluminum Nanostructures

Caption

Researchers at Rice University and the University of Cambridge made and characterized aluminum nanostructures decorated with 'islands' of various transition metals (above, palladium and ruthenium). The versatile plasmonic allows for customizable surface chemistry and reactivity in one-material nanostructures.
