Cover Story: Nanoporous gold (np-Au) is emerging as an important nanomaterial in drug delivery, diagnostics and therapeutics. Np-Au offers tunable pore size, biocompatibility and ease of fabrication into thin films, particles or shapes such as cylinders. The material can serve as a host for drug molecules with adjustable release for use in implanted devices. The plasmonic properties of np-Au enable applications in the photothermal therapy of cancer and also in diagnostic sensor development. Np-Au is an excellent electrode material for use in sensitive electrochemical detection schemes for biomarkers. View this paper
