Cancer Detection In article number 2102334, Young‐Seok Cho, Rose Du, Sanggyu Yim, and co‐workers propose attenuation‐based real‐time plain X‐ray imaging of deep‐seated tumors using CsPbBr 3 perovskite quantum dots stably protected in SiO 2 nanoparticles. This new imaging modality fundamentally solves the short penetration‐depth problem of current fluorescence‐based imaging methods. The stability of the perovskite quantum dots is ensured by rapid co‐synthesis and double encapsulation with SiO 2 .
