A great double act : Bifunctional core/shell nanomaterials offer important possibilities in a variety of fields, for example, in catalysis and in the (bio)medical sciences. As methods of producing such particles evolve, the utility and quality of the resultant materials is ever increasing. The HRTEM image shows a Co/CdSe core/shell particle, a material that combines magnetic and electronic properties.
