Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs; shiny spheres in the picture) modified with biological molecules are produced under microwave irradiation (ripples), as is described by Y. He, S. T. Lee, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 8485 ff. This synthesis strategy offers exciting avenues for designing multifunctional silicon nanostructures.
