Staining and etching is developed for the fabrication of two‐dimensional arrays and three‐dimensional foam‐like metallic nanostructures from a piece of tissue using a combination of metal staining and oxygen plasma etching. This novel nanofabrication technique is repeatable and cost effective, which are very attractive features from the perspective of nanomanufacturing process.
