The design and synthesis of near‐infrared absorbing semiconducting polymer amphiphiles that can spontaneously self‐assemble into homogenous nanoparticles for dual‐modality imaging is reported by Kanyi Pu and co‐workers in article number 1605397. Such organic nanoparticles can passively target the tumor of living mice after systemic administration, permitting both photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging of tumor.
