Light‐induced switching of the coercive field of Au:Fe nanoparticles with exceptionally good magneto‐optical response is reported on p. 4054 by Lapo Bogani and co‐workers. Two separate processes are identified, both of which are exploitable for photocommutation. This innovative material allows a combination of appealing photoswitching properties with the advantages of traditional metallic NPs, opening the way to new multifunctional nanostructures.
