The cover, designed by Liangming Xiong, illustrates the work of Jianlin Shi, Wenru Zhao and co‐workers that is reported on page 2780 . Here, a novel kind of rattle‐type hollow magnetic mesoporous sphere is described that can be used for the storage and release of ibuprofen. The material shows enhanced drug‐loading capacity and reasonably high magnetization strength and is therefore expected to be suitable for targeted drug delivery.
