A valuable shell : The combination of electrostatic deposition of gold nanoparticles onto microcapsules and a surface seeding method results in the formation of gold nanoshells (see picture). This nano/microcomposite is able to operate as a theranostic agent for both contrast‐enhanced ultrasonic imaging (diagnostic) and photohyperthermia (therapeutic), and thus holds a great potential for photothermal therapy in cancer treatment.
