Transforming diatomaceous earth into sensing devices by surface modification with gold nanoparticles

Diatomaceous earth, or diatomite, is produced through the accumulation of diatom (Bacillariophyceae) skeletons (i.e. cell walls called frustules) made of amorphous silica. The porous, highly symmetrical structure and microscopic size of diatom cell walls make them ideal constituents of sensing devic...
