Stirring gold nanoparticles in water with liquid mercury leads to alloy particles, in which the amount of mercury simply depends on the reaction time. On page 3259 , Stijn F. L. Mertens and co‐workers show that the large difference in cohesive energy between the alloying elements causes the slow inward diffusion of mercury over a fixed distance, independent of the mercury content. After a few days, the particles consist of a pure gold core (indicated in red in the image) surrounded by a solid solution of the two elements. (Cover design: J. Oliveras)
