Rare earth (RE) nanoparticles attract considerable attention in biomedical applications due to their unique optical and magnetic properties associated with f‐electrons. On page 6922, M. Y. Gao and co‐workers summarize the recent achievements in controlled synthesis of magnetic and luminescent RE nanoparticles, surface modification, and toxicity studies of RE nanomaterials, and highlight state‐of‐the‐art in vivo applications of RE nanoparticles.
