Nanoporous gold (NPG) is characterized by a bicontinuous network of nanometer-sized
metallic struts and interconnected pores formed spontaneously by oxidative dissolution of …

Nanoporous metals made by dealloying are macroscopic network architectures that can
contain∼ 1015 nanoscale struts or ligaments per sample. Their mechanical performance is …

We report results of the tensile properties of nanoporous gold (NPG) as a function of the
density and average ligament diameter. As-dealloyed tensile samples were thermally …

Motivated by often contradictory literature reports on the dependence of the surface energy
of gold nanoparticles on the variety of its size and shape, we performed an atomistic study …

Nanoporous gold made by dealloying exemplifies how the exciting mechanical properties of
nanoscale objects can be exploited in designing materials from which macroscopic things …

We present a study of the elastic and plastic behavior of nanoporous gold in compression,
focusing on molecular dynamics simulation and inspecting experimental data for verification …

The strength and elastic modulus of macroscopic nanoporous Au samples are much lower
than that predicted by using Gibson-Ashby scaling laws. Here we attribute this discrepancy …

The long-term performance of orthopedic implants depends crucially on a close match
between the mechanical behavior of bone and of the implant material. Yet, the present man …

Aluminum (Al) metal is highly reactive but has excellent corrosion resistance because of the
formation of a self-healing passive oxide layer on the surface. Here, we report that this native …

Experimental investigations of the strength of small objects–such as micropillars or
nanowires–often point towards a trend of increasing strength with decreasing dimension,[1 …
