A novel multifunctional nano‐probe is developed on page 4114 by Y. Hou, L. Zhao, F. Sheng, and co‐workers based on Fe 5 C 2 nanoparticles with carbon layer. The probe exhibits high magnetization and near infrared absorption, which can be applied in magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic tomography, and photothermal therapy. It shows a high affinity to tumors, and can ablate them when exposed to light, highlighting their potential as a targeted probe for cancer theranostics.
