Macroporous metals with strong diffractive properties at visible wavelengths can be synthesized from colloidal crystal templates. The synthesis, characterization, and potential applications of macroporous metals created in this manner are summarized in this article. The Figure shows a macroporous copper film, illustrating the long-range order of the porous structure (see also cover).
