Multifunctional core–shell particles composed of magnetic particles covered with a gold nanoshell can be induced to align into conducting lines upon application of a magnetic field (see Figure). The formation of Au clusters and “streaky” gold nanoparticles on the surface of the PS beads is demonstrated and the preparation, characterization, and applications of magnetic and polystyrene beads featuring a gold shell are addressed.
