The cover image is a pop art representation of a shell architecture on fluorescent nanodiamond. As P. Cigler and co‐workers report on page 1106, the diamond nanoparticle is embedded in a silica shell, which is terminated by a hydrophillic, azide‐ or alkyne‐substituted PEG polymer. In contrast to unmodified nanodiamonds, this nanoarchitecture brings high colloidal stability in buffers and biological media and the possibility to modify the particles by biomolecules in high yields using click chemistry.
