Strawberry‐like and fluorescent SiO 2 @CDs composites are prepared by a facile hydrothermal route at gram scale by C. Wang, C. Zhang, and co‐workers in work described on page 944. The resulting composites have numerous advantages, including high stability, good biocompatibility, and easy purification. Moreover, composites further functionalized by folic acid (FA) can be used as probes for targeted labeling of cancer cells.
