Scientists from Stony Brook University have developed a new approach for making metal-metal composites and porous metals with a 3-D interconnected “bicontinuous” structure in thin films at size scales ranging from tens of nanometers to microns. Metallic materials with this sponge-like morphology could be useful in catalysis, energy generation and storage, and biomedical sensing.
