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

Micropatterning of costimulatory ligands enhances CD4+ T cell function
TL;DR: It is shown that the peripheral presentation of CD28 has a larger impact on IL-2 secretion than CD3 colocalization/segregation, and this increased cytokine production correlates with NF-κB translocation and requires PKB/Akt signaling.

Enhancing the onset of pool boiling by wettability modification on nanometrically smooth surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the onset of nucleate boiling has been measured and the influence of the wettability has been quantified, as the inherent mean roughness of the glass substrates was lower than one nanometer.

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.
