The cover picture shows CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of octadecylamine. The as‐prepared NPs are monodisperse and have a high saturation magnetization. Octadecylamine creates a double layer of organic coating with free NH 2 groups on the NPs and prevents aggregation. The addition of a fluorescent dye (sulforhodamine B acid chloride) gives rise to hydrophilicity. The fluorescence and relaxometric properties of 7 and 15 nm bimodal CoFe 2 O 4 NPs are depicted on the blackboard. Details are discussed in the article by V. Georgiadou and C. Dendrinou‐Samara on p. 3645 ff . For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
