Electric fields can drive strong oscillations of metal nanoparticles to disrupt nearby cell membranes and enhance cell poration. In article 1604139, F. F. Chen, Y. H. Xu, H. Shafiee, and co‐workers successfully apply this effect to establish controlled and targeted delivery protocols of different types of therapeutic molecules into cells and live tissues.
