A. J. Blanch, M. Döblinger, and J. Rodríguez‐Fernández report on page 4550 a facile high‐yield synthesis of multibranched gold nanoparticles with hollow cores. Their unique multibranched and hollow nature determines the NIR character of their highly tunable plasmon resonance. Highly monodisperse fractions of narrow sizes can be isolated through centrifugal size sorting, thus serving as a tool to boost even further their high environmental optical sensitivity.
