Abstract: Abstract Colloidal crystals are ordered arrays of particles in the nanometre-to-micrometre size range. Useful microstructured materials can be created by replicating colloidal crystals in a durable matrix that preserves their key feature of long-range periodic structure1. For example, colloidal crystals have been used to fabricate structures from inorganic oxides1,2,3,4,5, polymers6,7, diamond and glassy carbon8, and semiconductor quantum dots9, and some structures have photonic properties4,8,9 or are patterned on different hierarchical length scales5. By using colloidal crystals as templates, we have synthesized a new class of metallic materials with long-range nano-scale ordering and hierarchical porosity.
