TLDR
In this paper, a technique for patterning a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold substrate using an elastomer stamp was described, followed by selective etching in an aqueous, basic solution of cyanide ion and dissolved dioxygen (1M KOH, 0.1 M KCN).Abstract:
This letter describes a technique that can be used to produce well‐defined features of gold. The technique involves patterning of a self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold substrate using an elastomer stamp (fabricated either from a phenol‐formaldehyde polymer or polydimethylsiloxane), followed by selective etching in an aqueous, basic solution of cyanide ion and dissolved dioxygen (1M KOH, 0.1 M KCN). Electrically conductive structures of gold with dimensions as small as 1 μm have been produced using this procedure. Once a rubber stamp is fabricated, patterning and etching of gold substrates is straightforward. This method is convenient, does not require routine access to clean rooms and photolithographic equipment, and can be used to produce multiple copies of a pattern.read more

Microfluidic nucleic acid analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, individual or small groups of cells or viruses may be isolated in microfluidic chambers by dilution, sorting, and/or segmentation, and the isolated cells/viruses may be lysed directly in the micro fluid and the resulting nucleic acid purified by exposure to affinity beads.

Patterning axonal guidance molecules using a novel strategy for microcontact printing.
TL;DR: Using this method, the extracellular domain of the cell adhesion molecule, L1 is micropatterned (as an L1-Fc chimera) and it is demonstrated that it retains its ability to selectively guide axonal growth.

Waterproof stretchable optoelectronics
TL;DR: In this paper, flexible and stretchable LED arrays and methods for assembly of flexible LED arrays alongside flexible plasmonic crystals are described. But they do not discuss the application of flexible arrays onto flexible threads as light emitting sutures for performing radiation therapy on wounds.

The use of self-assembled monolayers and a selective etch to generate patterned gold features
TL;DR: Using a number of techniques, such as micromachining, microwriting, electron-beam lithography, ion-beam, and ion beam, it is possible to form patterns of SAMs on the Au surface.
