Gold and pearls : Multifunctional nanoparticles, each composed of a single, amine‐modified gold nanorod, decorated with multiple “pearls” of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles capped with carboxy groups, are prepared. Their effectiveness in simultaneous targeting, dual‐mode imaging, and photothermal ablation of breast cancer cells is demonstrated.
