New types of monodisperse, micrometer‐sized, hollow particles (see Figure) are obtained by encapsulation of emulsion droplets in solid shells and dissolution of the cores. A facile fabrication method is used in which, by simply tuning the thickness of the shells, different types of particles with tunable properties are obtained.
