The frontispiece features the multistrata nanoparticle—a single‐core, five‐layered nanostructure. It combines tunable, dual‐peak, UV–vis–NIR spectrum extinction characteristics; trimodal imaging contrast; a simple synthesis; and facile surface modification capabilities into a single <60‐nm‐diameter, multifunctional nanosphere that seeks to relieve current methodological limitations by coupling diagnostics and therapeutics into one single theranostic tool. The image shows a model of the interior, multilayered, metallodielectric structure, including a schematic of the fabrication protocol.
