Ultrasmall (<2 nm) gold nanoclusters are used by Xing‐Jie Liang, Jianping Xie, and colleagues as a new type of metabolizable and efficient radiosensitizers for cancer radiotherapy, on page 133 . In particular, the gold nanoclusters consisting of 25 gold atoms and 18 thiolate ligands show attractive features for cancer radiotherapy including preferential tumor deposition, strong radiotherapy enhancement, and efficient renal clearance.
