Entrapment on the nanoscale! Nanoparticles have been self‐assembled inside a silica matrix using a “bottle‐around‐the‐ship” approach. This new route is strongly inspired by the chemistry of mesoporous materials. Silica walls are built in solution around Pt nanoparticles self‐assembled as micelles (see picture).
