On page 2812 , Sang‐Hyun Oh and co‐workers report using template stripping to create embedded plasmonic nanodisks that can generate tunable plasmonic fields on ultraflat surfaces. The embedded nanodisks are topographically flat and capped with a silica layer to form a laterally homogeneous and biocompatible substrate. The nanoplasmonic architecture hidden underneath creates a tunable plasmonic landscape. Nanostructures can also be embedded in elastomeric materials, which can be peeled off the substrate to create flexible plasmonic membranes that conform to nonplanar surfaces.
