Under the irradiation of a 915 nm laser, MEO 2 MA@MEO 2 MA‐ co ‐OEGMA‐CuS‐DOX (G‐CuS‐DOX) nanocapsules increase the temperature of tumors ( T ). As described by Z. G. Chen, H. P. Wang, M. F. Zhu, and co‐workers on page 245, when T exceeds 42 °C, synergic photothermal‐/chemotherapy can be controllably switched on, resulting in efficient destruction of cancer cells in vivo.
